Found my 22 year old son dead in September I can’t actually cope with the pain
RachelG - I’m so sorry you have lost your son, and that you have also suffered traumatic grief because of that awful loss. You can only cope a tiny bit at a time, as you must have been doing so far. The pain is still so raw, so ever present, and so all consuming. I am 31 weeks on from losing my beautiful daughter in a traumatic death, and it still causes me so much heartache. But I think I am coping a little bit better each day with the support of dear friends and family. I hope you are getting some support and love through this deeply difficult time. Keep posting on here as it has really helped me and many others to share with people who know and understand just what you are going through. I hope you begin to learn how to live with you pain.
