Don't know how to say it, but need to put it down. My beautiful son was found dead last night. I don't know what to do. He is 22 but still my baby, how do you begin to process something like this?

Oh my goodness I am so so dreadfully sorry. Words are not enough at a time like this. Prayers and thoughts are with you. What is your sons name?

Thumbwitch · 04/07/2012 04:18

Oh my God, you poor love. :( :( What a horrible thing to happen (((hugs))).

If you want to talk about it, go ahead - you will still be in shock just now, I'm sure so your feelings will be all over the place, mostly disbelief.

Mumto - have just noticed your last post about his illness - is that a factor in what's happened, do you know?

Sorry if it sounds intrusive but if it is, it may help to put it down as well because people who have had similar experiences will be able to help more specifically. Still so so :(

AmethystMoon · 04/07/2012 04:23

I am so sorry. I cannot begin to understand how you feel and I am sure you might feel numb and in shock for a while yet. My thoughts are with you, big hugs. Hopefully someone with experience will be along shortly to help you .

CheerfulYank · 04/07/2012 04:29

Oh, I am so so sorry. I don't know what to say, but please feel free to talk as much as you want, about your boy or what you're feeling.

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry - the loss you feel must be terrible. Sad I'm sending cyber hugs to you.

Do you have someone to talk to in RL?

Outnumbered4to1 · 04/07/2012 04:34

I have no words - just so sorry Sad is there someone there with you? Sending you my love and virtual hugs.

Thumbwitch · 04/07/2012 04:35

Mumto - is your other DS with you? How is he as well? Hope you're with each other and holding on tight. xx

Mum2 - I have not experienced this myself, but a very good friend has. Her answer to how do I begin to process this is "One day at a time" but right now, everyone else is right - don't be alone, accept all the help that is being offered and just survive.

I am dreadfully sorry for your loss.

GRW · 04/07/2012 07:12

I am so sorry. You must be in shock just now. I hope you have good support from those around you, to help you through the next few hours and days.
