Hi, I'm new here and am finding it very hard to cope since my son died. I put him to bed in the early hours of the 4th June and woke up just before 6am to find he had died.
I just miss him so much and spend every minute of every day thinking of him yet all around me life goes on as normal and I find this really hard.

Has anyone here gone through this? how did you cope?

How very sad for you - sending you lots of hugs - I can't read too much of this post as tears just start to fall. It will get better for you, just have faith that you will always have him in your heart.

I have no personal experience of this and there is little I can say except how sorry I am.

So sorry lighthousekeeper.

nappyaddict · 02/07/2008 02:16

is all i can think to say. i'm crying reading this so i can't imagine the pain you must be feeling.

Vev · 02/07/2008 07:19

So sorry for the loss of your baby boy - keep strong.

throckenholt · 02/07/2008 07:39

so sorry you are going through this.

Just one thing - you say you are trying hard not to let your dd see you cry. I think you shouldn't worry about that - it is good for kids to see it is ok for adults to be upset by sad things - seeing you cry and deal with your sadness will help her too.

OrmIrian · 02/07/2008 07:42

lighthousekeeper. I am so sorry. I can't imagine how that feels. Can offer no advice. My mother lost twins just after birth but I'm ashamed to say that we've hardly ever really talked about it.

hazygirl · 02/07/2008 07:54

I'm just adding to the many who are sad for you. What a terrible thing to go through.

McDreamy · 02/07/2008 08:08

I am so sorry to hear your loss. How sad, how terribly sad. Thinking of you xxx

ninedragons · 02/07/2008 08:16

How utterly tragic. You must be feeling obliterated.

I hope you can take a tiny sliver of comfort from the fact that you saw Noah smile, and that he was loved so desperately in his short life.

I am so, so sorry.
