Feeling a bit low ?

That’s so sad Phoenix and I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. All I can do is send you my best wishes and virtual (((()))) hugs.

That is terribly sad, I don’t know how you bear it, but how good you have the connection with your sons friend,

I am so sorry Phoenix you always sound so positive and your posts are often funny and cheerful. You seem to be the sort of person who cheers other people up. I send my sympathy, though I know that is no help.

Even though I've lost my only child, I still struggle to know what to say, except that I understand the pain of those thoughts, phoenix.

I'm sorry today is bad one.

I can’t imagine how hard the day has been phoenix, I’ve no words to make it any easier, wish I had. This wretched virus has caused so much extra pain for so many people. If I may I’ll send a hug with my love and some . Be gentle with yourself.

My heart goes out to you Phoenix! My son died in childhood but he would have been 40 in February. I was extra sad this year because it felt like a milestone birthday that we would have had a party for. I too wondered many time’s what kind of life he would have had when I watched his sisters grow up. We have to learn to live with our loss but it’s very hard no matter how many years pass. Sending you a virtual hug.

Lucca there are no options, as others who have lost children will affirm, you don't "bear" it, you just keep going.

Yes, DS's friend is an absolute star! Even though it's what some would deem many years now, he is still there. Especially appreciated as he has a very new baby, but will still be going to the grave.

Your son must have been a brilliant friend, phoenix.

I’ve often enjoyed your posts and felt that you were a very upbeat positive person.
I hope that’s the way I would deal with such a heartbreaking event. You are to be respected.?

Your son must have been a wonderful young man to have had friends who still care so much.

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son phoenix

I am so sorry to hear about your son's death at such a young age Phoenix. Your heart must be so full of might have's … especially today. It is sad that the isolation of these strange days means that you cannot be with your son's dear friend. It can't help much I know, but fellow gransnetters feel for you and are thinking of you today.

I have been trying to put together some words of comfort in reply to you Phoenix, they all fell short, so can only send you virtual hugs & thoughts.

Virtual hugs are all I can offer, Phoenix

Thank you so much for all the posts, I hope you will forgive me for not acknowledging each one, but sending special good wishes to those who may also have lost a child, no matter at what age.

Phoenix I too am trying to think of something consoling to say to you, but my words are falling short, too.
Did not want to read and leave, so am simply sending sincere condolences and good thoughts. ?

I wish there were words, there aren’t. I’m so very sorry for your loss

I so understand Phoenix just over two years since my darling daughter took her life, I long for her.

Phoenix and Anniebach

phoenix I am so sorry for your loss. All I can say is that at least he had a good friend. For reasons I don’t want to go into, I would be comforted by the thought that your son had you and a good friend. That counts for a lot, doesn’t lessen your grief but it does count x

phoenix and annie and for all those who have lost a child.
