Hello @geri1,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. It sounds like there is so much going on in your life - it’s completely okay to feel overwhelmed by all these things. You are dealing with a lot and it’s understandable that sometimes it gets too much.

I hope you find the community to be a support to you. If you need some extra support outside of the community, I would encourage you to reach out to one of these organisations below.

  • Samaritans are available 24/7 to talk about anything that you are worried about in confidence. You can call them on 116 123.

  • Shout are contactable by text, 24/7. You can text REMEDY to 85258 and talk to them about anything.

We also offer free counselling if you feel some one-to-one support might help. You can also make an appointment with your GP and ask to be referred to counselling or other support services in your area.

I’ve shared a link to your post on @Chris33’s thread. They also sadly lost their son suddenly this year, and you may understand some of what each other is going through.

Take lots of care - keep reaching out,
Seaneen

Hi geri1,
Reaching out to you at this truly difficult and devastating time of your life.
I too lost my son,who was 31 years old,and he to passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home with me and his sister of a cardiac arrest.
It is a living hell.
I am just a year on now but although the pain is always there you do begin to notice a very subtle change over time.
We have to find a different way to live our lives.
Yesterday was one of my worst but today I feel a little more peace.Take it one day at a time and be kind to yourself always.
Cherish the time you had with him and remember him making you laugh.
Much love and hugs.
