I lost my son at the age of 35 in March 2021 and just had our first Christmas without him. I’m trying so hard to get through each day, working full time but despite having my husband around I feel just so lost and alone.

Can’t imagine the pain of losing a child no matter what age they are it’s still your baby. Let your husband help you he is grieving as well and don’t be hard on yourself. No one should outlive there children. I know of some of what your going through my big sister died when she was 4 on Xmas eve many years ago but my mum as never got over it.
Hi janey1958 I also lost my son last year in May and Christmas has knocked me right back. It was his birthday Christmas Day as well meaning Christmas was always big in our house, I was expecting it to be difficult but it was so much worse . I don’t know , I think we expect it to be so bad in the beginning but somehow hope it will get better but it doesn’t seem to , there never seems anyway out.
There is a thread on here called “loss of our son aged 27” you might find helpful , I have done , we are all going through the same thing at different stages on it and try to support each other.
I get what you say about feeling lost and alone, I don’t even recognise this world anymore , I want my old world back, and even tho people try to be supportive they can’t understand , but we do on this site. I often thought I was going mad but find many others feel exactly the same way on here. Please keep posting and searching this site, I always turn in when I feel bad, even the early hour of the morning as I don’t sleep there is often someone on here. I honestly don’t now how I would have got through without this site, you can say exactly how you feel which you might be afraid to with friends and family.
Take care jss x
