I’m so very sorry for your tragic loss. To have those precious months bonding with your beautiful baby boy, to then experience such a profound loss & sadness is truly devastating. I understand as im heartbroken & devastated after losing my precious boy suddenly age 22 years old. He passed away in his sleep, with no cause found. I will never get over it & never be the same again.
I hope you will get some comfort here & hopefully not feel alone. Sending hugs :broken_heart::blue_heart:
