Ds1 who was 15 killed himself. He spent a week in hospital but the damage was too great and he died on 11 July.
We are still near the hospital sorting things out (he was in a childrens unit away from home). The feelings are overwhelming, I can't think of returning to the house where I found him. We have another child who is 10 and he is with friends.
There were no signs he would so this - he was stressed about Gcses and recently lost his grandfather but he seemed to be handling it. His emotions seemed normal for a 15 year old.
Awful though it is I wondered if there are others this has happened to and can share their story so we feel less alone.
We are broken.

Veronika13 Thank you that's so kind. Ds2 is with us now and that's good to be back. I just feel so strange - I know it's real but I don't feel like it is. Thank youxxx

I'm so, so sorry. There's a lovely lady on Instagram '#knitformentalhealth' whose son died aged 19 in lockdown. Another of her sons is Dr Alex George - who is now working with the government on child mental health. Flowers
