Sudden death of nephew

My gorgeous nephew died very unexpectedly a few days ago. It was an allergic reaction. His life support was ended.

He was only 15.

I am so devastated for his parents - my brother and sister in law. He was an only child.

It feels like a horrific nightmare and it feels unreal.

I cry a lot but also have palpitations and anxiety attacks.

Our sweet, innocent boy - I can’t believe you have gone.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. So very sorry. I can’t imagine such heartache. Unfathomable, really. There are no words.

May your hearts mend. May God guide you to peace.

Thank you so much.

Sending love to you all.
I lost my only child in June this year very suddenly and still can’t believe it……it is truly devastating.
All I can offer at the moment is to all be kind to yourselves, allow yourselves to have whatever feelings come on the day and just ride them out.
It is becoming very slowly more manageable, I have started to do a little work and have even managed a smile at a happy memory without floods of tears.
I have found the forums such as this and the compassionate friends to be supportive, even if it’s just to realise that you are not going completely mad….
Take care as you try to live alongside your grief
