Boxing day 2022 my boy Jake only 32 was taken…suffering without him is hard but even harder to see his younger brothers suffering without him also. They are trying to be themselves but we are lost without him…still raw i know but looking at other conversations i know things never get easier!

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
