2 months ago my 6 year old son and I were run over by the school bus on our way to school. I have a younger son but I miss my 6 year old every single second of the day and really would love to speak to any other parents who lost a young child in a sudden and tragic way. thank you

Oh, how tragic. I am so sorry for your loss.

Did you want to tell us about him?

The bereaved parents thread, I hear, is very good here on MN. Sad that is had to exist, but theyappear a very supportive and welcoing group.

bereaved mums 'safe haven' thread

Im so very sorry to hear about your precious little man. I lost my 7 year old son in 1992 when he was killed by a reversing lorry right outside our home. I can only imagine how you are feeling.

You would get so much support from the ladies on the above link. All bereaved Mums of children of many different ages and circumstances. Believe it or not we often have a laugh on our thread, get drunk, scream, shout, cry and get very angry. It is a 'place' where I can go to ask for help or offer help.

Niki, just wanted to echo those who have suggested the bereaved mothers' thread. I found myself there after suffering a stillbirth, and I am awed by the strength and compassion exhibited by everyone, particularly those who, like you, have lost older children. They will be able to understand and empathise and it does help with the loneliness. I don't feel so picked on by the world when I'm there.

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine what you are going through Sad

oh my gosh how awful :(, I am so, so sorry for your loss. my heart really goes out to you.
I haven't lost a child myself but there are, sadly, many on here who have and who I know can give you support and kind words....

lexxity · 26/05/2011 21:53

I'm so sorry for your loss. Of course you miss him. I hope you find the support you need.

piprabbit · 26/05/2011 21:53

I'm so sorry that you have lost your beautiful son.

If you feel able, it might be worth getting in touch with The Compassionate Friends, who support bereaved parents and families. They helped my family when my 4yo sister died.

I hope you find the bereaved mums thread and are able to find some comfort.

I am so shocked and so very sorry to hear about your little boy- I really hope that you can get help and support from the other mothers on here who have also lost children.Do you have much of a support network around you in real life?

please join us on the bereavement thread, will always be there to listen and support, there are no words to express how you are feeling but an empathetic group hug can sometimes help to ease the overwhelming grief when you are at your lowest. My heart goes out to you, but you are not alone.

lavandes · 27/05/2011 07:38

I am so sorry you have lost your precious son nikijc. My son died suddenly in April last year as the result of an accident. He was not a child he was 34, but I do understand that the shock is totally overwhelming. I have had such a lot of support and love from the mums on the bereaved mums thread. I will never forget how kind and understanding they all are. No-one can understand unless they have lost a child. Please join us when you feel ready, there is always someone there to listen to you. xx
