I am so very sorry for your awful loss. Some ideas that have helped me: when it hurts especially badly, put your hand over your heart to hold it and hold the pain; wear something of his, if you can; sit next to where he used to sit and pretend you’re holding hands, if you used to - or just looking at him but with your eyes closed; stroking your knee or arm as though comforting a child - they may make you feel sadder but for me they make it a more bearable sadness. Thinking of you XXX

Thank you for your reply you know its not when i feel sad its the why ifs questions and then my anxiety gets the better off me and i don’t believe any one that has lost a child to suicide can understand that pain and those feelings that go with it.
