MY son died

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?

I'm so sorry. I don't know how you begin to process something like this - as others have said, just take one day at a time.

mumof, my deepest sympathies for your appalling loss Sad.
It always seems to unfair when the young die.

Much love and strength sent your and your families way.

SerialKipper · 04/07/2012 07:37

Oh mumto. So very sorry.

AlmostAHipster · 04/07/2012 07:38

I'm so very sorry. The shock must be overwhelming. While you process this trauma, you must take care of your physical body - eat, sleep, cry when you need to. Nothing you feel right now is wrong. Whatever gets you through the day.

Take comfort in your family and friends who've lost a loved one too.

Be kind to yourself. X
