I lost my dad 6 weeks a go. No one asks me how I am. I don’t really get supported. It sucks, but we have to put on a face and get on with it. A great read and for what it’s worth brought me some comfort and made me feel a little less lonely x

I lost my son on April 1 of this year. He had erosive esophagitis. it had been getting worse, he wasn’t taking care of himself. He died on april 1 when a vein in his esophagus burst and he bled out in a matter of minutes. It’s been 6 months now and I haven’t been able to get over it. I cry every day, I don’t eat, I rarely clean my house. I just can’t do anything but sit on the couch and cry. He was the sweetest, kindest person you could ever meet. He never met a stranger. He was intelligent, witty, funny and talented. He picked up a guitar at around 12 and taught himself how to play, and he played beautifully. He and I were buds. I feel like a part of myself died. I have my daughter that is helping me a lot. Other than that I feel alone. If it wasn’t for my beautiful daughter, I probably wouldn’t be here.

I lost my 19 yr son tragically. Nov 5th will be 2 years... I still sit in silence with my grief it feels as though it's not real. How can he be here one day and not the next? Nothing can prepare you. Friends and loved ones tell me I'm strong. why? I have no choice, I wake up and this is my reality. Nothing I say or do will bring him back to me. I believe in God but I will say going through this has me asking WHY? I am hugging all you moms ever so tightly in hopes that you feel its coming from your child in heaven that's why you're reading this

I lost my first born son Fintán over a year ago he was 20 yrs old my chum best friend he was a single dad raising Ella who is now 4 yrs old. I’m now raising Ella for him along with my two other children 8 and 7 yr old. Yes it does suck and it’s so hard to work out l don’t think l ever will know why. Yes that’s the big dreaded question how many kids do you have so now l say 4 one in heaven a boy and girl here and my grand daughter. Yes your right it’s a journey alone and one that we never asked for so l hope that we all get strength on some of the days to help us through it and if l could stretch my arms out to other mothers l would and give them my love
