My son of 25 years passed away in his sleep on the 17th December 2016 and I am more than lost without him. He was one of four of my beautiful children whom I love more than anything in this world. We still don’t have the answers as to why he died which is crucifying me and the rest of my family. My GP has prescribed me with lots of different pills which I don’t take because I have four beautiful grandchildren to love and care for. I really wanted to speak to my Mum but unfortunately she passed away from ovarian cancer 2 years ago…she went through this with the loss of her daughter, my sister at a very young age. How will I ever feel normal again? My body feels as though its in so much pain and i’m hurting like i’ve never hurt before.
