DS1 has died

[endofthelinefinally]

I tried everything to save him. He was 27.

I don't know how I am going to get through this.

I know this is a very old thread but I lost my son just 2 months ago and was looking for comfort. Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss and although I am at the very beginning of what I know is a terribly sad journey that none of us should have to make, this thread has helped me see how supportive people are and so has helped me understand that there is kindness in the world even if it seems very dark at the moment

I am so sorry for your loss. It is such early days for you. I am 8 years on now. I still cry every day, but I pick myself up and carry on. I don't know how we do it, but there is no choice. For me it was needing to be here for my other children that forced me to keep going. They are doing better now and are living their lives. I feel their lives would be very different if their big brother was still here, but loss changes everyone and everything.
I hope you have support around you.
You are very welcome to stay on this thread, however, I found starting my own thread brought so much kindness and support, it is worth doing if you haven't already.

Sorry to hear your news bereave - it is such a sadness to carry - it is good to have a quiet place to air your thoughts and worries and sadness - we are here for you.

big hugs to both of you

I'm sorry for your family's loss.

Ten years.
Still shellshocked.
Still heartbroken.
I miss him every single day.

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry too, I was on this thread at the beginning and think of you from time to time. Sending hugs

I am so sorry. 💐 Do you do anything special on the anniversary of his passing?

Sending love @endofthelinefinally
I remember your post from ten years ago, and I'm so sorry <<hugs>>

We will probably see some friends round for a drink. My other DC no longer live in this country, but I think they will try to get home, at least at some point this year, if not on the anniversary. TBH, many of the friends who were amazing and supportive over the first few years have moved on with their lives now. I understand and I am fine with that - they are married with children and their lives are busy. Ten years is a long time. There is a small group that keep in touch and we will see them.

So sorry for your loss

I remember very well all you went through. I am so sorry it has been so hard and of course it doesn’t go away. xxx

Ten years and I am right back there. I have really struggled this year. All the weddings, the babies, the parents of his school and university friends who now have grandchildren. I am not coping at all.

I’m so very sorry. There are no good words, I’m thinking of you and your son. x

I think of you often, I know that doesn’t help, it must be so very sad seeing life move on and your son not being part of it.

my thoughts are with you xx

Sending you much love x

@endofthelinefinally How are your other children doing?
Sending love 💐

They are doing ok thank you. They miss their big brother terribly. You can never fill that space. But they are working, making the most of life. That is all I can hope for tbh.

I'm so sorry. There are not adequate words really. Just posting to add with others to show you are not alone.

Thank you.

There are no words but I am thinking of you and your boy. I remember your thread from the beginning. I can’t believe it’s ten years. Really wish I could think of something comforting to say but there really aren’t the words. Just hugs to you.

Love from here too. Never forgotten xx
