Hi, I'm new to this so bear with me. I lost my son 5 weeks ago to suicide & I literally feel like my heart has been ripped out. Each day is getting harder & harder, I don't know how we go on living without him. My brain cannot comprehend I will never see him again. The pain is unbearable.
Hi Appleblossom, With COVID it’s hard trying to find support at the moment. You’re spot on with it’s a grief beyond belief. Thanks for the lovely photos 💕

Hi Dec, I’m sorry you’ve been through this too, it’s a club I never wanted to join 😢. I know there’s nothing anyone can say or do, it just seems to get harder every day. Received the death certificate the other day & had to make calls that just broke my heart even more. It’s exhausting being sad all the time 😭

Hi Molly26, I’m so sorry you’re going through this hell. It’s an unbelievable pain that unless you’ve been there you can’t understand. I got out of bed & had a shower today so that a win. 💕
