My Beloved Son 2

[Rosetta]

My beloved son died 27th January this year. We had his funeral yesterday. He was only 43yrs of and his death was sudden and  unexpected. The cause of death was not ascertained. The service was lovely

No question, we are all devastated. My heart is broken. His older brother, who has been my husband and I s rock hit the tsunami of grief yesterday.

I cant say how I feel,just needed to share for some support 

[naomi24]

Oh Rosetta.  My heart goes out to you, it really does.  I'm shedding a tear with you.  How hard it all is.  Much love to you. x

[Cloverjo]

I'm so sorry, Rosetta.

What a terrible tragedy. 

[Rosetta]

Thank you both

[Arksided]

Sorry to read this very sad news, my thoughts go out to you, family and friends for such a sudden sad loss.

[andy-hughes]

I'm so sorry.

There is nothing anyone can say or do at this dreadful time.

You are starting the long hard journey to weaving this loss into the fabric of your being.

There are no shortcuts.

Some days it's almost bearable, other days you feel it will take you with the crushing agony of its weight on you.

But weave it you will.

It will take a long time.

But you will arrange at a stage in life where you can carry on, even though that feels impossible now.

Sometimes the comfort of strangers helps, and there are plenty of kind supportive people on here if you need to talk to someone who is not directly involved.

Take care.

There are no words I can type that will ease your pain but I wanted to know you are now in my thoughts and I send you love and healing.  It is so true when they say no parent should have to mourn the loss of a child and I can only begin to imagine how devastated you must be...

Be kind to your self and allow the grief to wash over you for now and take solace from those who surround you.

Much love, Lisa x

I am so sorry for your loss. 

[Smowball]

Am so so sorry, don't know what to say but I cannot imagine what you are going thru. Just know that we are all a great bunch to talk to and offload to whenever you want to. Sending you all my love xx

[wolf63]

It must be hard for all three of you.

I know that nothing I can say will be of any help, but my thoughts are with you all. xx

I am sorry you are going through this, I hope you have friends who will give you and your family support and comfort.

When we lose a loved one something inside us shifts so we are never again quite the same but we adapt, we cope and eventually we smile when random thoughts of our lost loved ones pop in to our head.

Your memories will be a comfort and a balm.

Give yourself the time to grieve and heal. Ask for help when you need it.

I am so sorry and my thoughts are with you.

Can only sympathise and hope you find the strength to make the most of each day until your extreme emotions subside. They will, but don't be concerned about letting it all out for now. Wishing you all the calm you all need in the meanwhile.

Thankyou for sharing this tragic news with us, Rosetta.  As someone who has experienced losing the person I loved the most, I admire your courage in sharing this which is the first step towards healing.  Two things which have helped me are 1) Keeping focused on the good times we enjoyed and 2) Knowing how they would want me to be.   Thoughts and prayers with you today.

Dear Rosetta and family,

                                      There is truly nothing I can say to ease your grief and pain or to fill the void ripped out of your family.

As others have said, there are no short-cuts but if understanding from others will help - you have it.  We lost Mr J2's daughter, aged just 50, to unsuspected bowel cancer nearly 13 years ago.

You need to cling together to help each other through this worst time of all your lives. You can't mend this, just survive and grow through the devastation, which you will do.

Our love and thoughts go to you. xxxx

[Ringlet]

What a terrible thing to happen to your family. 

I cannot imagine what you must be going through, and I am so sorry that you are in such pain.  Your loss must be made even more difficult by not knowing why your son died. 

Your greatest strength in this is your family.  Take courage from each other.  You might grieve at different rates - as long as you support and help each other, you will find comfort.  

My heart and love and support goes out to you.  

[Rosetta]

Thank you all for your kind words, I know we have to just carry on, but its tough.

No one should have to bury their child. I suppose part of the process is screaming against the wrongnest of it

[naomi24]

There is no 'rightness' in it, Rosetta.  

[Rosetta]

No I know naomi. We are only a small, tight knit family which makes the hole in our lives feel so much bigger.

My older son must return to work and his life soon, which is how it should be, but the house will be very quiet

[MargoTester]

I'm so sorry Rosetta I can't begin to image what you and your family are going through, but please accept my sincere condolences .
