Mumsnet Talk

Don't know how to say it, but need to put it down. My beautiful son was found dead last night. I don't know what to do. He is 22 but still my baby, how do you begin to process something like this?

Oh my goodness I am so so dreadfully sorry. Words are not enough at a time like this. Prayers and thoughts are with you. What is your sons name?

Oh my God, you poor love. What a horrible thing to happen (((hugs))).

If you want to talk about it, go ahead - you will still be in shock just now, I'm sure so your feelings will be all over the place, mostly disbelief.

Oh my love
I have no idea

But I did not want to read your post and not reach out to you with love

I am sure someone will come along who has experience and until then I'll just stay here and hold your mumsnet hand

I don't think age diminishes the love nor the grief at the loss of a child

I am so very sorry for your loss

Mumto - have just noticed your last post about his illness - is that a factor in what's happened, do you know?

Sorry if it sounds intrusive but if it is, it may help to put it down as well because people who have had similar experiences will be able to help more specifically. Still so so

I am so sorry. I cannot begin to understand how you feel and I am sure you might feel numb and in shock for a while yet. My thoughts are with you, big hugs. Hopefully someone with experience will be along shortly to help you .

Oh, I am so so sorry. I don't know what to say, but please feel free to talk as much as you want, about your boy or what you're feeling.

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry - the loss you feel must be terrible. I'm sending cyber hugs to you.

Do you have someone to talk to in RL?

I have no words - just so sorry is there someone there with you? Sending you my love and virtual hugs.

Mumto - is your other DS with you? How is he as well? Hope you're with each other and holding on tight. xx

Oh that is so unspeakably sad, I'm sorry. Sending you love. I hope you can allow others to look after you and your family.

I'm so sorry, I hope you have someone with you and your family.

Oh gosh, I'm so very sorry Hope there's someone with you for support

I am so sorry. X

Oh goodness me I am so sorry to hear that

Oh goodness, how terribly awful. What an unbearable situation.

I hope you've got people around you for comfort.

I'm so sorry for you.

I am so sorry, I hope you have company with you. Thinking of you .

so sorry

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Love doesn't diminish with every year our children live, no matter what their age the pain must be extraordinary. I hope you're not alone.

I am so so sorry. This is awful

Sending you lovexx Hope you're with someone.xxx

I am so sorry .

Wishing you much love and strength xx

I am so sorry.

So so sorry to hear this. x x x

Mum2 - I have not experienced this myself, but a very good friend has. Her answer to how do I begin to process this is "One day at a time" but right now, everyone else is right - don't be alone, accept all the help that is being offered and just survive.

I am dreadfully sorry for your loss.
