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.

I hope you are surviving as well as you can. I've just read this thread. I am so sorry that your precious toddler has does. Hold on. The horrendous grief you must be going through right now will not always feel as it maybe feels a lot of the time now. Be as kind to yourself as possible .

@CorBlimeyGovenor thank you, and thanks to others for your ongoing thoughts.

Christmas is hard, as I imagine it is for anyone on this section of the forum. Sending love to all who have lost someone precious x

I'm so sorry this has happened. Lullaby trust may be useful when you are ready for supportive groups or resources to talk about what's happened with your pre-schooler. www.lullabytrust.org.uk/bereavement-support/
They get slated on here but your health visitor can offer support by visiting regularly or calling If you prefer.
