My DS2 would have been 30 tomorrow

I’m sure it doesn’t get any easier, an unbearable loss for you.
You must be, like so many others of you, enormously brave, thinking about you all, who have lost a child

Oh Phoenix I feel so much for you. I also lost my beloved son to suicide.
He was 20. It will be six years in June.
My heart bleeds for you

Thinking of you phoenix and others too who've had such sad losses in life.

Oh Phoenix . I am constantly amazed and humbled to hear the awful things people on this website have had to endure. You are always there for everyone and make us smile and laugh every day.
Our children are so precious. Will think of you tomorrow.

So sorry phoenix.

I'm so sorry, Phoenix. The pain must be unbearable.

I was feeling miffed about being directed to gransnet based on my age as I don't have grankids yet but this message has given me a reality check. I could so easily be in your situation (my daughter had a big wobble) and I am so sorry for the situation you are in. We love our children so much.

Kandinsky X posts. ? for you

So sad for you and all others who have lost their dear
children, the pain is unimaginable.

Bless you phoenix and kathsue too. Unimaginable heartache for you both to bear.

Your son would have been 30y tomorrow phoenix? A milestone birthday and not surprisingly you’ve turned to ‘what ifs’ and revisiting memories of your dear boy.

They say grief is the price we pay for love.

I shall think of you tomorrow. x

Thinking of you. x

Phoenix, sending love as I can't find words that express my feelings on reading your post xx

Dear Phoenix & any other g’netter who has lost a child. I’m so desperately sorry, the heartache must be unbearable.
sending you much love xx

Phoenix the 'what ifs' are always there
x

Dear Phoenix I am so very sorry and to anyone else who has lost a child small or older it’s unimaginable and my only wish is that I go before any of my children or grandchildren I don’t think I could bear it
To all bereaved on here my love and thoughts x

The 'what ifs' and 'I wonders...' don't go away do they? And I'm glad - it signals that the connection will always be there. Sending you a (((hug))) Phoenix, you can use it straight away or save it for tomorrow.

So very sad Phoenix but the young man he was lives on in your memories of him.

Dear phoenix, I don't know how you kept going but I, for one, am very glad you did. You live with loss but make us happy ?

My heart goes out to you Phoenix and other Gnetters who have 'lost' a young child or an adult child

We all hope and expect that our children will out live us as parents.

Phoenix I am so very sorry. Such unimaginable pain, such heartbreaking loss ?

Love to all of you who have experienced the loss of a child

To you too kathsue

I have no words to help phoenix so sending love and a gentle hug. Be kind to yourself.

My heart goes out to you Phoenix Sending hugs

? Phoenix so hard for you
My first cousin lost her son when he took his own life aged 21, then she lost her only brother in similar circumstances aged 38. Such anguish, it is heartbreaking.
