Carole flowers No advice can make up for the dreadful experience of losing a child, of whatever age. Bereavement hits us all in different ways and many find it helpful to talk to others who have experienced similar events.

I can understand what you say about very dark thoughts and would encourage you to imagine being held in the arms of so many of us here on gransnet while you grieve. No demands, just love and comfort for you.

I have recently lost my adult son suddenly. He was 32 and has two children aged 4 and 8. He died of natural causes and his death was totally unexpected as he has always seemed healthy. We have always been very close and life now seems very bleak - I sometimes have very dark thoughts and find it so hard to carry on. I know I have to survive this for my other son and my grandchildren but it's so hard and I know that there are going to be terrible times such as his birthday and Christmas. Although I wouldn't wish this on anyone I know other people have been in similar situations and may be able to give me some hope
