Firstly I am so sorry for both your losses. Unbearable pain.

My husband and I lost a son each last year to suicide. Completely unrelated and shocking within 5 weeks of each other. Trying to get to grips with two funerals and all that goes with is enough without the added emptiness of losing a loved one especially a child.

I have learned to accept that my grief comes in waves and not really related to anything in particular except extreme sadness, futility and anger.

I can cry at the end of Vera and Pretty Woman even at adverts these days so anyone that has lost a loved one especially a child to say “ we should get over it” is well appallingly ignorant and desensitised. I only hope these people never have to go through it.
