This is just too hard

[Muncie]

I heard this morning that my wonderful son took his own life yesterday leaving behind his partner and two young boys

Please, how do we get through this?
it was only 5 years ago I lost my only sister the same way

I am so so sorry. Lots of love and strength to you. I hope you have some support around you xxxx

Take it one minute at a time and allow yourself space for all the emotions. There is no correct way to react or behave. Keep posting here for support. What's was your lovely boys name?

I am so incredibly sorry you have lost your lovely son. Xxxx

Thinking of you at this heartbreaking time. No words can console you but I hope it helps to know we are reaching out to you and sending Mumsnetty hugs.

May your dear boy RIP. God bless him and all who love him.

just to make it worse if possible we’re on a cruise on the med at the moment with no way of getting home til Thursday - we have tried. I just want to be home to support them and my other two children and can’t do so

Oh no, I’m so so sorry. I know there’s nothing I can say, but I’m holding your and your dear boy in my heart.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. You are doing all you can to support your family and will be home soon.
Take care of yourself as much as you can. Xx

Oh I'm so very sorry. You must be so terribly shocked and hurting. I don't know the right words to say except I hope you are surrounded by people who love and support you

Breathe..focus on the next five minutes, then the next. There is a lovely, supportive Facebook group - Losing a Child to Suicide UK run by a wonderful lady called Anne Stephens who lost her son. I'm 3 years into this journey - not sure how I survived the first few weeks...to be honest it was a mixture of blocking stuff out and intense activity. I'm still here it's hard, very hard but I have a younger DC that needs me and your grandchildren will need you. You are doing all you can. My love to you and your familyx

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and support, I really appreciate every message. I’m just at a loss as how to cope though I know I will - as others have said, I’m needed to help the rest of the family when I get back Thursday

I'm so sorry, what a horrific shock and how sad. Thinking of you and everyone who loved him xxx

I am so deeply sorry to hear about your son.

Just keep breathing in and out, take it an hour at a time. I have no words that could possibly offer any comfort but I’m thinking of you x

I am so very sorry.

I'm so sorry to read this and so very difficult that you can't be with them just yet. Holding you in my thoughts, may your beautiful son rest in peace 💐

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you.

Nobody could possibly know how to cope with a loss like that. I cannot imagine that there are any words that could possibly help. I am just so very sorry. xxx
