I’ve just recently lost my little son & I can barely breathe … one day I’m ok the next I can’t function, the pain of it moves through my body & mind.
The only rest I get is sleep, but as I’m coming round & open my eyes the pains there again.
How do I get through this.

I lost my daughter last year she committed suicide she was just 16, even today I wake and remember she isn’t with me any more and takes my breathe away, grief effects people differently and it does get easier and you can cope. I think like this the grief inside me is the love I have for my daughter but now I cannot show her, there days now I can think of her and smile and days where grief brings me to my knees. It does get easier with time and you grow around your grief . Let it takes it course and if you need to talk I’m here as I understand how you feeling. I am sorry for loss hugs to you.
