On the 24th of September my ds5 died of cot death. He was only 13 weeks and 4 days. His funeral was last Wednesday. My arms ache to hold him, everywhere I look his things are there. I miss him so much.

What was your son's name?

My5boysandme · 07/10/2012 21:32

I have my dh and parents around. My other ds's are 9,7,5 and 3. I was home alone with the 5 boys when it happened, as dh was away on his 1st ever overnight business trip. I just feel so guilty even though everyone says it was nothing I did. I've been having panic attacks, I can't go upstairs myself, I have to sleep with the light on. I miss Dexter so much Sad

How do you go on after losing a baby? I know I'm lucky I have the other boys to keep me going, but when they are at school/bed it just consumes me.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dexter. This won't be something you get over but something you learn to live with. Your boys need you. Hold them and kiss them. I hope you realise soon this was not your fault. My prayers go out to you all xxx
