Lost my 5 year old son before Christmas.

[orion3]

My wee boy died 2 days before Christmas and I've joined this group to meet up with other people in the same situation and hear how you've coped.
He was taken to hospital with a chest infection but he died the following day after they discovered an undiagnosed heart and lung condition. He was my world. Some days I feel better than others and I'm so grateful that he led a full and healthy life and he was never in pain, others I feel like I could cry all day.

Sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry.

How awful. I'm very sorry.

you poor poor thing my heart goes out to you. Look back on those wonderful 5 years you had with him and remember all the good times i bet you were a wonderful mum and he knew that he was loved very much.

So very sorry for you.

There are all too many wonderful women on here who share your pain and will be full of advice and support, in the meantime I send you love and strength.
I'm so sorry you lost your son.

I am so sorry :(

From what I can gather there is a very good support group thread on here for parents who have also sadly lost children. I will see if I can link to it for you.

orion3 , I am so sorry to hear about your son , hulababy has linked to a very special thread here on mn , please come over whenever you feel up to it , my 14mth old son died 10 years ago and there are sadly a few of us there who know what you are going through .

You can tell us as much or as little as you want to and there will be someone to listen to you and hold your hand .

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I hope you can find what you are looking for here.

Orion, please know I am so, so sorry for your pain and confusion right now. Would you like to tell us more about your wee boy?

My lovely red-headed Mia also died unexpectedly from an undiagnosed heart condition in hospital - we only found out afterwards. We don't understand how it all happened and have to go through an inquest, so I hope you are able to get some answers for your boy. Of course, knowing doesn't take the pain away. However, they might provide some peace.

Anyway, do PM me if you have any particular questions. If I can help in any way, I will. Both tami and I write regularly on the thread linked on here, and for me, being able to express my anger, pain, sadness and confusion to others who understand without judgement, it is invaluable.

Be gentle on yourself.

I am so very sorry x

orion, please do come and join us on our special thread, the one no-one ever wanted to be on but where we make some of the best friends we will ever have. I lost my baby daughter in October and don't know how I would ever have managed without these great ladies.

Lots of love to you orion3 and so sorry xxxx

Thank you for all he kind replies. I'm starting to pick up the pieces but sometimes I'm just too overwhelmed by the enormity of it all and I just crumple.

Thank you for the link to the thread. I've had a wee look and I might post there in the future. x

orion - feeling overwhelmed and crumpling is pretty normal. Just go with it. We are there on the thread whenever you think you might like to come along and talk about your boy, and tell us just how wonderful he is. x
