My only child who was pregnant with her first baby was killed in Edinburgh on September 2nd 2021.
I am really struggling with the grief & pain. She was the perfect child. Beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
Truly devastated. My world & life has been destroyed…
Losing a child is an immeasurable grief. The ultimate tragedy that no one should have to go through…
My dear @Brokenheart4 - I am so sorry. What a terrible thing to happen. I am not surprised you are struggling - this is a huge shock and loss. I would recommend seeing a grief counsellor or seeing what is available for bereaved people locally. Talk to people who understand and can help you through this, my friend. Life will never be the same, for you or for any of us here. The one thing I hold on to is that here, I find people who understand and who are with me as I try to make sense of my loss - my husband. So keep posting, find a counsellor - your GP can help or look online. Sue Ryder may also have an offer. Keep going, we are all with you.
Thank you for your kind words of support. It’s 28 weeks today & the pain is as raw as the day it happened.
Dear Brokenheart
I’m so desperately sorry for your loss. Double loss as your daughter was growing a new life inside her.
I don’t know what to say other than take each hour at a time. Don’t think about the future as it will unfold in its own time.
I lost my younger son two and a half years ago and I’m now coping well overall. Anniversaries, birthdays etc are still and probably always will be a struggle. I never believed it possible to find a purpose to continue but I have. This site offers enormous support.
Do you have people around you?
I meditate- that’s a life saver for me.
Sending love and hugs
You are not alone on this journey.

Dear Purple
Thank you for your kind message.
I do have a supportive network of family & friends. I don,t know what I would do without them. Sorry for the loss of your son.
I’m glad you have found support on this forum and I thank you for your kind words of support. It all feels so surreal and I feel I will wake up from this nightmare soon!
We all feel like that…I sometimes feel I dreamt Henry and he was never here at all…
Then I feel he’s close and I dreamt he died …
You could think you’re going mad…
Keep posting here…no one judges us…we just get support.
Big hugs
