I lost my son 6 weeks ago with a rare form of cancer MDS Myloid Dysplasia Syndrome, most people have never heard of it, a blood disorder, he was fit and healthy and looked after himself. He was diagnosed in April and died in September, spent the whole time in hospital, I went through it with him every day. He was In a hospice for the last 3 weeks, I go over those months and weeks and everything he went through, the image of him dying in my arms will never leave me. 

i don't think people have any idea how it feels unless it happens to you.

I am so very sorry and sad to read your post but yes I totally understand how you feel physically and emotionally.

I lost my parents a while ago and was so sad and upset but how I felt losing them bears no ressemblance to the loss of my son,Edward.

Edward died on 28th November 2015 so three years next week.He had to be cared for in a hospice for the last few weeks as it would not have been possible at home.This was heartbreaking for us all especially him.

My head is like a show reel reliving, like you, the days,weeks and months culminating in seeing your child no longer alive.The loss,the shock, the grief and the utter unfairness of it all is like a tsunami of emotions that never leave you.Counselling,wonderful friends and the passing of time has helped me but the giant black hole left by losing my son remains just as big.

My heart goes out to you.

I am here should you wish to contact me again at any time.

I lost my son to cancer 4 weeks ago .the pain is unbarable I can't believe he has gone nursed him for the last year life seems so empty without him now 

Hi there, I'm so very sorry to hear about the death of your son, 4 weeks is no time at all and you will still be in shock. I am now 14 months down this road and and I'm still coming to terms with the loss of Peter.

I hope you have some support around you, there are no words really that describe the effect this will have on your life, there is no greater loss than that of a son or daughter. Thinking of you, take things easy, a day at a time. Take care, Vera X 

Thank you for your reply helps to know someone else is going through this I do not know if you felt as if you were the only one going through this at any time .

Sorry for your loss 6 weeks it is so early Iost my son 4 weeks ago nobody knows how it feels unless it happen to you.I feel son lost now my son was I'll with cancer for a year nursed him in that time in and out of hospital andxfinaly hospice feel a massive gap in my life now and completely lost  

I lost my son, aged 34 to Cancer. I was a single parent. He moved away from his adoptive Father and my ex wife aged 21. He became hostile to me, for no tangible explanation. The loss is beyond any rational. The worst part is, when you tell people you know, they treat you like a leper. You have to be a happy person?
