My heart goes out to you and your family in your loss. My DD died nearly 7 weeks ago - although she was an adult but she wa always my baby. Flowers

I'm so sorry. I haven't read all the posts as I'm at work and I'm starting to well up. But I'm thinking of you and all the parents who have experienced the tragedy of losing a child.

How are you today op? I have been thinking of you today? I will hug my DCs this evening (they were asleep last night when I posted to you) as I think of your little boy. Flowers

Thinking of you and your family. I am so sorry your precious Oakley died. The first few days and weeks are so painful and impossible. My heart goes out to you Flowers

Mummy just letting you know I've been thinking of you today Flowers

My DD died in similar circumstances (suspected SIDS) in September. I remember the shock and utter devastation and am so sorry you are going through this.

4 months on, I feel like nothing is any better and some days I just sob my heart out. But when I look back at how far I have come, I realise that time has made things slightly easier. I don't cry every day. I can eat again. Going out is still hard but I am doing it. You will do all of these things too.

Everyone handles things differently. Take your time and be as selfish as you need to be. What matters is your family and you. Take comfort from those you feel safe around and prepare to ignore the insensitive comments from people who just cannot find the right words. Your children will get you through. Don't be afraid to cry in front of them as they need to know that it's ok to be sad and show emotion. You don't have to be strong, you don't have to do anything.

Things won't be the same but you will find ways to honour and remember your son. You will always be his mummy and no-one can take that from you.

Concentrate on getting through each day. 4 months on I can concentrate on each week. Sleep when you can and keep drinking.

I wish no parent ever had to go through this and I am so, so sorry to read this. Mumsnet offered me so much support and I hope it can do the same for you.

Sending so much love to you and your family.

Flowers Unbelievably unfair on all of you. So sorry.

Blossomdeary · 24/01/2017 18:40

So very very sad for you - you have all my sympathy.

Sadly there are others on here who have suffered a similar loss and I do hope they will be able to help you a little. Flowers

Thinking of you and your family mummy Flowers

Mummyof6tiredmuch · 25/01/2017 00:07

Thank you for everyone who has taken the time to comment and I'm so sorry that some of you have experienced this and my heart truly goes out to you .
My family has all been around today and that has brought me some comfort . However oakleys new hammock bed that we had ordered turnt up and that utterly devastating , thankfully my brother who is being my rock put it in my boot and given to someone in need . The children are ok but ds2 is really struggling and we are crying together . I feel so numb and at times wish to smash everything up but I know I cannot stay in this house we have to move asap x

I've thought of you and little Oakley often throughout today.

I cannot begin to imagine the pain you and your family are going through - there is no sense to this. Flowers
