Hi,
I lost my son 1st November 2022.
I’m struggling too.
Watching his younger sister suffering is heartbreaking.
We were with him when he passed away and I tried tirelessly to save him as did the emergency services but it wasn’t meant to be.
I will miss him until I take my last breath.
Take care of yourself x
