On Sunday my son was killed in a bike accident, today we are being allowed to see his body and identify him after waiting all this time for the coriner to post mortem, I have no idea how I will get through today
You will be dreading it…but you will get through,it’s amazing where the courage comes at times like these…I couldn’t see my son until he was in the chapel of rest two weeks after he had died,I was shaking like a leaf …and when I saw him he just looked like he was asleep it actually gave me a feeling of peace I just didn’t want to leave him I was so positive he was going to wake up at any minute…the following day I went to sit with him again I was so content just to be with him…Hope you feel the same.
With Love …Marina x
So sorry you have lost your son. I hope that you got some comfort from seeing him today.
I lost my daughter recently and when I went see her I found it was hard to walk in but even harder to leave.
As parents this is something we never expect to happen.
Thinking of you. X
It was so hard to leave him. He is in the hospital mortuary right now but I look forward to seeing him again in the funeral home. He looked asleep too but so cold, I talked to him and had the chance to tell him I loved him and more, I can now believe its real as I kept hoping before seeing him that they were wrong. I am sorry to hear about your son, its not how its suppsed to be, parents should not have to bury their children xx
It’s so hard to see your child like this and it is so unfair…like you say no parent should have to bury their child, but as parents we are always there and this is the last thing we can do for them…It’s so difficult to accept what’s happened but we must…and it’s amazing the strength and courage we find to be able to cope with it.
Posting on this sight helps immensely for there are so many of us who have lost their son’s and daughter’s and know the emotions you are going through.
You take care…it’s hard but you will find the strength to get through the next few weeks.
Thinking of you…with love Marina xxx
Bless you…must have been so very jard for you…I’d too hoped that they had made a mistake and it wasn’t my beautiful son in the mortuary. I regret not spending more time with him that afternoon. It was another 10 days till I saw him again. The funeral directors took ages to get him sorted and near to home. One of my many regrets…
We only had a set time as they were so busy,WIltshire roads are a nightmare and our family liason police officer said they were inundated with road accidents. I m going to go again when he gets to the funeral home and have a better visit with him without the pressure to leave before I am ready. I think no matter how long we had it was the hardest thing leaving him there I just wanted to take him home with me
I’m so sorry. My son died on a Sunday in July in a motor bike accident as well. The shock is horrendous. So much to take in. It’s the start of a hard journey and you will need help along the way. Keep talking and keep crying, both are necessary. Thinking of you x
