I unexpectedly lost my son in December he was 34 years old and my best friend, since then my relationship of 14 years has broken down, I am struggling to understand anything at the moment, I have another son at 28, he is my only reason to keep going but I am finding it harder by the day.

Hi Lynda I’m sorry for your loss. My 17 year old passed suddenly out of the blue in his sleep on 1 March. He too was my best friend and soul mate. I don’t know how I’m going to carry on without him I’m devastated x

Oh Susie I feel your pain and I am so so sorry for your loss, which is something I thought I would never have to say to anyone, as it is never expected for us to loose our children, I am so angry with everything right now and need answers the only trouble is Susie it wont fetch him back. once again I am so sorry x

Oh I am with you on that I have googled everything like how to connect with people that have passed etc so you are not going crazy, we are just looking for comfort and want this to be just a horrible nightmare 
Dear Susie and Lynda,
You both have my deepest sympathies. I too lost my 15 year old son in October 2022. He passed in the night from a brain stem haemorrhage (also totally unexpectedly). Please know that you are not alone and there people who can relate to the enormity of your loss. Despite the inevitable devastation, you both seem well adjusted and I hope you’re able to cope through this most challenging of times.
Wishing you all the best,
Jon

That’s true x I don’t know if you believe in signs but we have had some strong ones such as his dumbbell weight unscrewing when nobody has been in his bedroom. Lights flashing etc. I thought they were signs but the vicar came round to discuss the funeral and poo-poo’d it and said these things happen all the time and basically it’s me clutching at straws. This really upset me x
Aw that’s awful and I can understand why it would upset you and Yes I absolutely do believe, I have had some strange goings on myself and strongly believe he is with me, if it gives you that little bit of comfort Susie take it, it really doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. x

Hi to you all on the loss of your child.Its an unbearable lonely place to be.My son my only child died March 2022 1st anniv was on 9th.I am a widow of 12 years.I have come to the realisation now that I have got to get used to living my life with this grief inside me 24/7.Its so bloody hard I am not the person I was .I have wonderful siblings but they all have their families children grandchildren.My son and I were really close he had had relationships but no children.My life is so empty without him and his love.He suffered through his illness that is awful to live with.I get up each day carry on.I really hope I will see him and his dad again but nobody knows.My heart goes out to you all the loss of a child is the worse thing that a parent can go through .Life will never be the same again.Xxxxxx
