Members Jannit Posted October 25, 2017 Members Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I lost my son on the 14 th August 2017 , he went out for a birthday dinner and never came back, he had an asthma attack which lead to a cardiac, and that was it he was gone. I hate the emptiness, anguish,sadness,anger, loss and all the other emotions I encounter on a daily basis. I've lost my beautiful and funny child and I'm totally lost right now. How on earth am I expected to function as if life still has a purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TearsInHeaven Posted October 26, 2017 Members Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Jannit,I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I know the loss is devastating. This early grief is raw and most times you are brought to your knees. One day at a time....or one hour...or one minute is all you need to manage right now. Come and join the most active thread-Loss of a Child- Loss of an Adult Child. There are many parents there who have come together to share, to speak and or listen to each other as we try to make our way thru this path of grief. , I lost my son almost three years ago. In the beginning I felt like I was at the bottom of a deep well and no one could hear my heart scream. While it doesn't seem like there is a way through, you will find small steps....sometimes 2 steps forward but 3 steps back....Grief is as unique for you as your son and your love for him is unique.

Members Tommy's mum Posted October 26, 2017 Members Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Tearsinheaven is right there is lots of care and support on loss of an adult child thread we have daily posts and it keeps us in the same place so relationships can develop. I am so sorry about your son. Sudden loss is even harder to accept you keep expecting them to walk through the door and it will have been just a bad dream, but sadly it is a new reality. Finding a purpose comes quite a bit later on, for now you have to try and keep yourself together and make it through one day at a time. Your emotions will swing wildly for a long time it is your minds way of trying to process everything and it cannot be acheived all at once because it is too overwhelming. let all those emotions out as keeping them in is very toxic to both your physical and mental health. You are still so very new to losing your child it feels like you have gone crazy. You feel out of control often powerless, angry, devastated, confused, resentful and a host of other feelings. be kind to yourself, there is no rush to grieving it evolves and changes over time. You will miss your boy for the rest of your life but know he is still beside you every day watching over you and one day many years from now you will see him again and be able to hug him in real time.
