a bit about what has been happening

a bit about what has been happening

hi everyone

I was posting in the carers thread and decided to jump over here too - I am supporting my 23 year old son with his anxiety but I am not always doing so great myself, not just because I worry about him but I lost my youngest son in 2015, he would be 21 last month.

It is a real struggle some days. Some days I just want to scream, and be angry at him, but I can't be angry at him, it was not his fault. i feel like a terrible mother for getting angry at him. Other days I want to cry and cry. I look at photos of him and I think about him growing further into adulthood, a partner, children, and that will never happen for him, his life was cut too short and I'm always thinking about what things would be life if he was still here.

Did something in particular remind you of him today?

I hope you're okay @lovemyboys. Can't begin to imagine what it would be like.

Today I was having a hard time missing my Mum who passed away in June. She was old and had lived a long life. For your son to leave you in such tragic circumstances must be unbearable @lovemyboys.

I went to my yoga class a bit tears. I felt a bit better afterwards. On the way out I thanked the teacher and the floodgates opened. She gave me a hug and I didn't want it to end.

I hope you have your husband there to comfort you.

The sadness will always be there @lovemyboys but I hope that you can smile as well when you remember your beautiful son.

Must be so difficult for you @lovemyboys to imagine how his life would be now, what lay ahead for him.

Such a huge hole in your heart ❤️- thinking of you.

Any update on your other son's health problems? Is he happier these days?
