My toddler died today

My baby died today. I found him in his cot this morning. He was completely well yesterday and has no health problems. They are completing a post mortem today.
I don’t know what to do. Why would a healthy child just die? I have a 4 year old and don’t know how to handle it with him. Any advice welcome, I’m obviously a mixture of completely numb and a mess.

Oh my God. Heart wrenching!! My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Tell your little boy in simple terms when you are ready. God love you all. x

I am so so sorry for your devastating loss. Words can’t ever put into words how you’re feeling and there’s nothing anyone says that can take your pain away. But my heart bleeds for you Flowers

You’ll find them one day, when you’re ready.

Can’t begin to imagine what you’re going through but you don’t have to do it alone

Dear OP, just wanted to say I am still thinking of you since reading your post. I cannot imagine your pain, but hope all these kinds words from strangers can numb that pain just a little bit. Take each day minute by minute, and you will come through this storm xxx
