My heart goes out to you and the loss of your precious son. Time does not heal. It should be my daughters 34th birthday tomorrow sadly she passed July 2014.
Remember your child in whatever way helps you.💔

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so sweet your son also acknowledges his brother too. Happy Christmas XX

I’m so sorry.
It’s lovely your ds2 has remembered him with you. I hope that brings a little comfort. Christmas can be bittersweet, but it’s always about the people we love.

I'm sorry, OP. There are some hurts that time just doesn't heal.
Your candles are beautiful and I hope they bring you some comfort. Thanks

My huge sympathies to anyone grieving for a loved one. Not an inane gesture, but one truly from the heart. It's a difficult time of the year for those of us who have lost someone we love. Xx

Hello, Elderflower. I've seen you on other threads.
I'm sure that he was a much loved child.
Love to you 🌹💐

I'm so sorry. I hope you are able to enjoy your precious memories of your son's short life today as your candles glow. Flowers

It hurts so much. My DD1 would have been 31 in November but she was killed when she was 5. This can maybe be a lovely thread to remember our lost children?

caringcarer · 22/12/2021 19:26

No one can ever take your previous memories of your firstborn son away from you. The candles look beautiful. Merry Xmas to you.

So sorry for your loss. How lovely does your DS2 sound! Much love at this already difficult time. Xx

I always remember what someone I know who was involved in a very tragic incident says, that you don't get over things they just become a part of who you are. And your son is always part of who you are.

I am so sorry you lost your son 💐
