You are such a kind and thoughtful person your reply is inspiring to others. Hope you also think of yourself a little too. Because you also need care and support just now. And maybe its ok to let your mum=in=;aw support you too because it will make her feel better to know that you need her too. Take care.

Thank you Meebee. We will always have a bond as we were both there to say goodbye to Frankie in hospital. It was her birthday yesterday and she didn’t want to do anything. I took her presents round and we ended up having a glass of wine in the garden which was lovely. I couldn’t stand the thought of her being alone. She brought my Frankie into this world and I have her to thank for bringing him up to be the beautiful person he was. My friend’s have been amazing including her in some of our plans. We’re having a low key bbq for her on Saturday💙

Hi Nina
I recognise that feeling, my little girl is my only reason too. I hope he gives you the strength you need to get through. X

Me too Nina , he’s not little though but he’s still the only reason I haven’t left this earth !
That is so lovely. I am glad you have each other to lean on. It would have been such a comfort to her you doing that. Birthdays have a new meaning when you lose someone close. I have never been big on birthdays when I was younger but now I realise how important they truly are. and to have people to share them with and make them special makes everything a little easier. I;ll bet she really appreciates having you in her life. Take care.
Hi Nina
It is good that he gives you a reason to go on and you probably need that right now. But I truly hope that you have adult support in your life to make things a little bit easier on you. You need to be cared for too just now. You also need to have some help to look after your wee boy and give you some space sometimes because you may need space for you to grieve as if you stay strong all the time for your boy then it may come out years from now. You need to be a little selfish in order to be selfless and remember to take care of you too. Thinking of you.
I understand your pain and know that feeling. . but I hope that you find other reasons to go on.
I also hope that the ones you talk about are giving you the support and care that you need just now. If you feel really bad I hope that you can talk to them and share this with them. Let them be there for you. Thinking of you.
One of the first things she said to me afterwards was please stay in touch. That broke my heart. She must feel so vulnerable. She relied on Frankie for everything. Perhaps a little too much. It did his head in at times. We used to sit and guess what the next item on the jobs list was gonna be. Anyhow I reassured her I’m not going anywhere. I would hate to feel like I had nobody.

Oh bless you. You must be such a comfort to her. I am assuming he was her only child. But I feel your connection with him and things you shared still going strong in your message and that is a really good thing. Yes it is difficult to have nobody. I only have an elderly uncle who also lost my aunt at the end of last year but he does have other people to support him. My friends are all gone because of my previous shifts at my job and my own health issues. I have a cousins wife who has been sending me texts to check up on me and a woman I talk to at work but it stays at work and that’s about it. i try not to dwell on it though. I am glad you have friends to get you through too. Support is important right now. I have been coming on here for support and people are great. Its a wee community that supports each other. Take care, you have such a lovely kind heart.
Thank you. This forum is so much help to people. I have shed tears reading a lot of the posts. I’m pleased it’s helping you. We are all united in our grief. None of us wants to be on here but it’s a lifesaver for many. Take care and God bless

My one remaining child out of three, it would be so much easier to fall asleep but she has suffered so much for one so young and I have to stay strong for her.

My thoughts are with you. You say you don’t know how this site works. Its just a place for people to share posts about their stories and how they are feeling about their loss and to let others who understand how they feel post supporting notes. If you want to tell your story then you can start a post and then its like a conversation you let people support you and then you post back to them and hopefully it gives you a little bit of comfort to know that someone else understands what you are going through. Grief can be so lonely at times but its a little bit less lonely when you come on here and thats what this site is about. You obviously just recently lost your son at a very young age and you feel quite helpless about that. It is a heartbreaking thing for any parent to go through and I am thinking of you.
