Bereavement

My beautiful, brave Harry bear

I have posted alot in the special needs section over the years. I am heart broken. My beautiful, brave Harry passed away peacefully on tuesday in mine and his daddys arms. I am lost, heartbroken. I want him back so much. I want to kiss him and cuddle him. I want him. He was only five and had been very ill and disabled since birth (www.harrysjourney.co.uk). He took us all by suprise though. we knew we wouldnt have him long, but i didnt think he would go this soon. He had been ill at christmas and was only given hours to live, but he fought it. It left him exhaused and he slept most days, all day. He couldnt fight anymore.

I love him so much. He is in the butterfly suite at claire house at the moment and we are spending time with him till his funeral on friday. I miss him so much it hurts physically. I know he is better where he is and that his body works now, but i want him with me. Please tell me it gets easier.

Hi Dizzy

I am glad you are finding some peace in your day.. wine and a bath sounds ideal.

You will have these feelings coming and going for a long time.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to post to me. I felt so desperate yesterday, and am so frightened to think that i am going to feel like that again and again. I have panic attacks (im on medication) and they have started up again at night time. Im scared to close my eyes and go to sleep.
Today has been more bearable. I have had a moments of sheer, complete sadness which takes over all my thoughts and icant imagine anything being the same again, but i have had moments where i spent time with my other kids and didnt cry.
My friends and family are being wonderful, as is my lovely hubby and kids (13, 13, 18yrs). These messages have meant so much and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read his site and sign the guest book.
Im going to have a bath and a glass of wine i think, and read a magazine.
I will keep checking in here as it is making me feel really supported.xxx
