We lost our grandson who lives with us with our daughter and other grandchildren, he was only 12.
He went to the bathroom and collapsed and died instantly.
He wasn’t poorly, had no illness whatsoever.
This was only 5 weeks ago I can’t get my head around the coroner coming back with no cause.
It’s not natural for his little body to just give up.
My daughter is being remarkably strong yet myself and my husband are falling apart
I am so sorry for you and your family,it is hard to know why these things happen. So many things happen for no reason at all. But I am sending you all my love and best wishes.

Thank you so much, I’m really struggling at the minute and just really can’t get my head round the fact he’s gone and especially not having a reason it makes no sense
