My Beloved Son

[Rosetta]

Died yesterday, unexpedically. He was only 43. 

how do I deal with this

[maggiebee]

My heart goes out to you. Far too young to be taken.  Afraid there's no easy way to get through this, but remembering the good times can help. Family and friends will rally round to help you. Take care.

Oh Rosetta my love I am so sorry.

you remember the good times, you laugh and you cry and most of all you talk xxx

[Rosie29]

Dear Rosetta -   I am so truly sorry.  What a dreadfully huge shock for you.  Please try to take care of yourself and take all the help and comfort you can from those around you.  Very sorry xx

[Countrylover]

I'm so sorry Rossetta and send my condolences.   Are you getting any support. I hope so. I can imagine what you must be going through.  My son is 40 and very much loved.   

Take care 

Lottie xx

Terrible news Rosetta. I'm struggling to find the right words. I just hope that you have family and friends to give you  support 

[Hazlinny]

Much too young to be taken  ...  I do feel for you, Rosetta, and I hope that happy memories will help, in some small way, to ease your sadness.  Hope you have other family around at this time. x

I'm so sorry. Life is so unfair at times .

[Buenchico]

Possibly worth a call.  (You'll lose nothing by talking to a counsellor but you might gain at least something through doing so):

You have my heartfelt sympathy Rosetta. Much much too young and undoubtedly a deep shock.

I too would recommend cruse...when you are ready x

Rosetta, life can be so cruel sometimes.  My thoughts are with you at this horrible time.  xx

[Tilly2]

My condolences to you and your family.

 You must be in shock. Don't try to do anything. Just be you.

You dont,  but you learn to live with it, slowly painfully but you will never be quite the same again , you will find things that make you smile, and cry, and scream inside at the unfairness,  feel guilt that you are still here and he is not,  but eventually you will weave the loss into your life.  Just got now feel what you feel, everyone responds differently.  You might be paralysed with the pain, or make cups of tea for everyone else... It's what you need to do...  Just know loads on here will be thinking about you, some will have been through similar losses, others couldn't imagine what that loss would feel like.  Take care of yourself,

Oh Rosetta!!!   How dreadful.  I am so very, very sorry.  There is no right, wrong or easy way to deal with it.  The pain is indescribable. I can't tell you how much I feel for you.  So much love to you.  Naomi.  X

Wise words from rowan.

It's a cliché, but "Nobody should have to bury their child" - I can't imagine the pain you must be suffering. Try to take some comfort from the outpouring of sympathy here on Answerbank, and don't be afraid to seek counselling as recommended by Buenchico.

Rosetta, I cannot express how very devastated you must feel. I wouldn’t be able to handle such a terrible thing to have to endure. Words are insufficient, when your heart is broken. Somehow you have to find the strength to deal with this tragedy, for your own sake and for your sons memory. Personally, I believe that death is not the end of a human soul, we are more than flesh and blood. Mourn, cry, and remember the good moments with your loved child.

[Lie-in King]

((Rosetta)), you & your family & friends have my sincerest condolences.  I hope you've someone close that you're able to talk & even cry with.  Be sure that you look after yourself. x

[Rosetta]

Thank you all for your kind words. I am still numb

[Patsy33]

Oh Rosetta, I'm heartbroken for you. Take all the help you can and please look after yourself. ((X))

[naomi24]

Oh Rosetta, I so wish I could help you.  I'm crying with you.
