Coping with the loss of your child

[Leza1]

Our beautiful daughter has just died. She was our only child. I don’t know what to do. The pain is unbearable and I feel like I am constantly on the verge of a panic attack. What do I do?

Oh OP I am so sorry.

Who can you reach out to? Have you been given contacts for child bereavement services?

Don’t expect to be able to make any sense of anything, just focus on the next moment and have other people help look after you.

I am so so sorry.

You also might want to repost in chat if it would help you to get lots of replies.

I am so sorry op.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope that you are being looked after. As pp said I think all you can do for now is manage minute to minute and look after yourself as best you can. Sending lots of love to you. xxx

I’m so very sorry for your loss. Right now you just have to get through each minute. Cling onto loved ones for support, drink tea, I know that sounds trite but it gives you something to do, and stops your mouth being so dry. Contact your GP if you feel you’re going under. 💐

Oh gosh @Leza1 I'm so so sorry. If she had been poorly, was there any hospice involvement? I believe they can be invaluable for support.
Do you have family around you for support?
As mentioned by @Groutyonehereagain, contact your GP for some medication if needed. I am so very very sorry for your loss.

So sorry for ur loss. Would u like to talk about her. How old was she. Any hobbies etc.

So very sorry for your devastating loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss, if it would help, please tell us all about her - we're listening x

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Are you off work? Have you arranged some counselling?

I am so sorry. 💐

I am sorry. I have no answers.

Please tell us about her if you can.

I'm so sorry for your terrible loss.

I have no real words of advice but please just take all the time you need to feel how you need to feel. I wish you the strength you need to get through this.

I am so sorry your beautiful daughter has died. The pain is unbearable it never goes away. My lovely sons both died 20 years and 3 years ago. From experience I found I had frequent panic attacks in the night. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family x

I'm so sorry for your loss

I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter 💐

Thank you so much each and everyone for taking the time to reply. It means so much. She was 3 years old. Severe disabled but there was so much happiness amongst the pain. I know ppl say this all of the time but she was (and is) my world. The local hospice have been invaluable and the palliative care team. The support is there from that side, I just do not know what what to do without her or how to deal with this. She was the most beautiful, sassy little girl. She could do very little but her personality shone through ❤️

She sounds like the light of your life @Leza1.
A truly incredible girl, who is clearly very loved. I'm glad you've got the support of the hospice. Do continue posting here if it helps, perhaps if you need a space to tell us all about your lovely girl.

So sorry for your loss 💐

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry about your lovely daughter.

I can't imagine the pain and I can't say anything that will help but I hope you are as ok as you can be and you can find some moments of peace.

Im so sorry OP.

She sounds like a strong warrior, just like her mum. I'm sure you're very proud. I know there is very little that can be said that would comfort you right now, but I'm glad you felt comfortable sharing with us. Please feel free to continue to share if it helps you x

I'm so sorry this has happened, it is so unfair.

It sounds like you loved her so, so very much and she would have known how loved and treasured she was. What a wonderful mother she had that made her short life so special xxxxxxx
