Hello @Broken67 . I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. My son, 25, passed away on Christmas Eve and I am still trying to process it all. It’s totally heartbreaking and I have a constant feeling of dread when I wake each morning but I have an older son who needs me and he is giving me strength to get through each day. All I can do to support my son is to give him his own space when he needs it and to listen to him when he wants to talk. We can only take it one day at a time and not torture ourselves with thinking about what we could have done differently because I know from past experience, it doesn’t change what has happened. There are many people on this forum who can offer better support. You aren’t alone on here and it has helped me just to type down feelings.x

I never have a good day and ny breakdowns are horrific!! I cry every single day and it feels likr bloody torture!!! I just take one day at a time and believe me some days i have wanted to give up and hin come and take me!!, but i have his 2 children to look after an 8 year old and a 4 month old baby .i have 2 older children as well that i have to think about as well but believe me this is not easy and i have felt thrown into a black pit of darkness that i see no way out!!

Sending love to you all. Such a difficult painful journey we have been forced upon.
Life for some seems so easy. Life for me and for many on t his site seems to be survival mode, in terms of avoiding the hurt spreading out further.
Hope you find the strength to carry on caring for your loved ones, to me you are amazing just to continue to be. That is amazing. Keep going you can do this xxx
