My daughter died unexpectedly on Thursday, I cannot stop blubbing, I am heartbroken ....

That is so awful, I can't imagine what you are going through. Sending love 💖.

Abide with me, it is a hymn that sets me off

So sorry for all who have lost a child, at whatever age and however long ago. It must be the thing we all dread, and I feel sad for you all.

Just finding myself tearful while reading "How Far To Bethlehem?" by Norah Lofts for the umpteenth time. It doesn't always have that effect on me, but it's such a lovely interpretation of the Nativity story and I reread it most years.

Leon Redbone quietly singing 'Moonlight Bay' does it for me every time. I don't know why but it does.

I find that remembering my four years at university makes me weep. It was the only place I ever found true happiness and I dearly wish I could re-live it. Happy , happy days!

MadeinYorkshire I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my son years ago whilst he was still a child, you do not expect your child to die before you. It is horrendous

Music makes me cry a lot . Abide with me , 23rd psalm ( played at my sons funeral) many pieces of classical music and always the Welsh National Anthem ( I am proudly Welsh!)

A spectacular view ( makes me feel close to God)

My children/grandchildren in distress

Cruelty to animals

The Ukraine war ( or any war really)

The Sam Teale Productions Christmas advert 'Christmas is made not bought' had me sobbing my heart out yesterday. A friend posted it on Facebook and admitted he'd cried. Checkout Sam Teale Productions on Facebook and I defy you to stay dry eyed!

My sincere condolences to those who have lost a son or daughter. I can't begin to imagine the grief of losing a child. It goes against everything we expect in life. Two friends of mine have lost adult sons who took their own lives. One of them also lost another son last year to natural causes, but still a sudden unexpected death. I really don't know how she carries on but I guess for her husband and remaining youngest son. These losses made me cry.

Heartfelt condolences to all the Grans who have lost a child. I can’t let myself imagine the agony though I remember what it did to my aunt and uncle when my pregnant cousin died at 31 when I was a young mum myself. In tears I wish you strength.

Made in Yorkshire and Hellogirl I'm feeling so sad for you- my crying at opera feels almost self indulgent. My tears are forgotten so soon, but for you it must just be with you at all times. Except for my very elderly grandparents and parents (all in their 90s) I've lost no other family or friends and can't imagine anything of comfort I can offer. Thinking of you and it's lovely to see all the kind gransnet posts.

Bit of an unnecessary post songstress60 - given what had gone before.
Yes, we are all entitled to our say, but don’t expect a bereaved parent to ‘man up’ or call them a weeping willow, surely.

Can’t say anything because I’m crying for you and your daughter Made in Yorkshire.

Hellogirl so sorry to hear you have also suffered a tragic loss, of your son. So awful for you. Sending you love and hugs too at this very sad time. xxx❤

MadeinYorkshire I am so very sorry to hear the sad news of your beloved daughter. Sending hugs and love to you. xxx❤

It takes alot to make me cry, and I am sick of weeping willows who cry at the drop of a hat. Totally undignfied conduct. I love watching "Strictly" but when I see them well up I want to throttle them. I am the stiff upper lip type, and it seems I am a dying breed. The film "Haichi The Dog" made me nearly cry, but it is a true story. Don't like weeping willows. They make me want to scream "man up"

MadeinYorkshire and Hellogirl so sorry for you. Terrible, unimaginable pain you'll be feeling. Yes, we seem to have robins accompany us on walks after each of our close family losses. They are so bold and follow along on walks for hours at a time it seems.

Little children being happy or sad make me cry and the thought of anything happening to them. Plus various music, Chasing Cars affects me too. Looking back at sad life circumstances seem to get me now too, though I lived through them with determination and some anger at the time. I'd like to give myself as a child and teenager, before I escaped to university (thank the lord for full grants), a big hug. Plus maybe a few quid for the necessary things I needed then but couldn't afford!

Sorry, some of those emojis were meant to be flowers 😓😓

Made in Yorkshire, Barmyoldbat, Hellogirl1 and all other GNrs who have lost their beloved Children 🙏🙏🎉🎉💔💔💔💔.There are no words XXX.
As to what makes me cry- these days absolutely anything!!

So sorry for your loss Made in Yorkshire, I lost my son suddenly last year, never thought that a person could feel that much pain. What else can I say ?

Should have replied to the original question but somehow did not feel appropriate after my last post.
So, for me it has to be "Nimrod " when played at the Cenotaph each November, I refuse to listen to it any other time as the first few bars and I am gone, blubbering wreck !
There are a few others but Nimrod is worse than dicing Spanish onions.

I cannot imagine anything worse to endure, MadeinYorkshire, my heart goes out to you. x

HelloGirl1

My heart goes out to you, MadeInYorkshire, like some others, I can empathise with your sorrow, having lost a daughter too. Time will help, which is probably no comfort to you right now, but it is true.

MadeinYorkshire and Hellogirl, my heart goes out to both of you.
