After nearly two and a half years of a fight with cancer my beautiful 18 year old son passed away this morning at 11:20 am.

I am humbled by his strength and humour that he has shown throughout his short life.

It must be utterly unbearable minmooch. How I wish that no parent ever had to endure what you are going through. I think of you often.

Min you are strongly in my thoughts this evening Flowers

min no words really, just hugs and Thanks

My darling boy - I can't sleep tonight. It's been 3 weeks since you died. I think the realisation is going to hit soon. I keep feeling rising panic and I squash it down. I think it's going to be too overwhelming so it's easier to push it away. I can't bear to think that you are gone from me. I love you so.

I am so sorry you have so much pain. I have no words that can make you feel differently, but you have my deepest respect for the way you looked after your Will so tirelessly. Sending you some strength and a hug at ths awful time in your life .

Min, that fear of facing it must be terrible, and we can only stand beside you as you face into it. Your heart is broken, but the love which shines in every word you write about your lovely boy will never break or bend.

FlippertyGibbert · 20/03/2014 01:02

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family x x

Oh min. Your lovely boy and your beautiful words about him. I have no words but just wanted to hold out a hand in support.

CiderwithBuda · 20/03/2014 14:41

Oh Min. That fear of facing it sounds terrifying.

Have you had any bereavement counselling? They might be able to let you let it out iykwim.

ClockWatchingLady · 20/03/2014 18:45

Min, we are all here and listening throughout.
Thinking of you this evening.

tinypumpkin · 20/03/2014 20:13

Listening here and thinking of you all. Inhale, exhale, just focus on that for now. With much love.
