Hello @Milo
Im so sorry for the loss of your son.
It is a difficult road to walk and an endless sadness.
We lost our 26 year old son on New Year’s Day 18 months ago. Huge unexpected loss.
Like you we joined a club we never wanted to be a part of survivors of suicide.
It can be terribly difficult to keep moving forward after such a disaster especially as our lives stop and everyone else’s continue to move on.
When you are ready, and it may take months or more, I highly recommend attending a suicide support group. Here we were able to sit with others who had endured the same tragedy and for a time I was able to feel somewhat normal. We were encouraged to talk about our loss and our son. It helped to understand the situation we were in and he was in.
If you can stay in touch with your gp for support and talk out your grief. Consellors are highly recommended for support.
We learned that the grief doesn’t diminish but you learn to build a life around it. Though not physically the thoughts and love for your son can stay alive.
I think you can dm me if you want to msg.
How old was your dear son ?
My thoughts are with you as another mum who has had to bear the unbearable.
