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.

I am so sorry for your loss. My six-year old daughter died of leukaemia last April. She was ill for a 11 months and then terminal for 2. I cannot imagine the shock of what you have been through - our loss seemed sudden enough.

Oh, orion and Ceawood I'm so very sorry for you both. It must be a truly terrible feeling. I don't know what to say except that you will get support, sympathy and understanding here.
