I am so sorry for your loss, the shock is awful. I know what you are going through. I lost my son aged 35 last March through different circumstances. All I can say is hour by hour is the only way. Be kind to yourself and keep messaging on here. It’s a lifeline. Take care x

I lost my son in Jan 2023 after he had open heart surgery, but it wasn’t the heart problems that took him it was the mrsa and pneumonia he caught in the hospital while recovering. I’m very private with my pain, I don’t want my other sons to know I’m hurting and I hold back from saying much to my husband as Thomas wasn’t his son. I shut myself off emotionally from people, especially my husband. I’m hurting so much but I know it’s because I loved him so much.

Yes i tend to shut myself off as,well aaron was 4 years old when i met Barry who is my husband so Aaron isent barrys as well. My breakdowns come out of nowhere so once i start everyone sees and hears it i just control the way that im feeling. My other son dosnt know what to do with me and my daughter just feels sad once i start xxx
