Our beautiful son

[Mynamenotaccepted]

This should perhaps be in the bereavement section but I feel such a link with mums and dads on this thread. Our beautiful son died on Sunday he was 21and despite having multiple problems it was so unexpected.
We adopted him when he was 5, he was deafblind and cerebral palsy due to his mother taking vast amounts of crack cocaine and not realizing he had pneumococcal meningitis.
He did so well learning on body sign language enjoying the wind in his face and going over cobbled streets.
Everyone loved him I am totally numb, l must keep going for the other 4 but am heart broken. Sorry to burden you here on this thread but feel you will understand.

I have no idea what to say but I couldn't possibly read this and not reply. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how impossibly heartbreaking it must be to lose a child. You will be in my thoughts x

Thinking of you all and sending love and prayers xxxxx

It sounds like you gave him a wonderful life. Be sad but also also remember the wonderful times and what he brought into your lives. Hugs to you.

How lucky he was to be raised by someone who loved him as much as you did. I'm so sorry for your loss

I am so sorry for your loss.

@Mynamenotaccepted I'm so sorry to hear about your boy.

It sounds like he brought great joy to many people's lives and you gave him the best life he could have.

So sorry to hear of your loss x

I'm really sorry for the loss of your son.

Wishing you and your family strength. X

I’m so sorry for the loss of your wonderful son. Sounds like he brought you lots of joy and you did the same for him. How wonderful you found each other if only for a short time xxxx

So sorry for your loss

"Enjoying the wind on his face and going over cobbled streets ..." what beautiful images you have shared of your son, thank you. We send out deepest condolences to you along with our love and strength for you, going forward xxxx

So sorry to hear of your loss. Sending strength and love to you all at this awful time

I’m so very sorry. You are a wonderful mum and I’m sure that you gave him as much pleasure as he gave to you.

So sorry for your loss.
He sounds like he had a wonderful life with you.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry

I am so sorry to hear about your son. I remember you posting about him on the old Friday night threads in the SN topic.

My condolences. Such sad news. God bless you.

So sorry to read this, your lad sounds like pure sunshine. Thinking of you and your family.

Thankyou so much for your beautiful kind words, he was our life. I feel I must confess here and am sure some of you "oldies" will be aware that three of our other adopted children have also died however they did come with limited life expectancy so as much as it hurt we grieved before they died. Jay's death was totally unexpected and I have still not accepted it. I am so lucky to have 4 other precious adopted children and 3 homegrown children.

Our children are supporting us emotionally even our Down Syndrome 3 and fortunately our youngest daughter has no concept .
Thankyou so much for your support, it has been so cathartic to put it it to words xx

I’m so sorry, I’m sending you so much love

You filled his life with love, so sorry X

I am so very sorry for your loss, I can only imagine the pain you are feeling.

So sorry xx

So sorry to hear this. I really hope in time you can look back at your lovely sons life and be so proud of him and also all the lovely things you enabled him to experience x

Good god I have just read your update and although I'm not sure you will agree...you guys are amazing
