Family and Friends Forum

I remember that feeling well, mind buzzing, feels like your standing in the rubble of an explosion. But I promise it dues get easier with time. My knock was over a year ago only at charging stage so be prepared for a wiwt. It's brilliant you're seeking counselling this helped me no end. I'm sure your son is feeling the same, so keep an eye on him (believe me I know it's hard) but I've learnt so much from this forum. Also call stop it helpline and encourage your son to do so. Xx

Hi Kerry

After reading your post I fel the need to reply. I am so sorry you find yourself here but you have come to the right place for support.

When you are able to I would ring the helpline so they can support you through this process. I would also recommend your son contacts them as well.

I am sure other members of the forum will respond to your post soon.

Please look after yourself, the early days and the trauma/shock you have been through yesterday can not be underestimated as you try to process what has happened.

Bless you. So many of us enter a world we never thought we'd be part of, find out things about our loved ones that shake us to the absolute core. It makes you physically and mentally distraught......

Our hearts are with you and you always will find a friend(s) on this forum. We understand 100% how you feel right now.

Be kind to yourself firstly

Please keep posting as you will get some comfort knowing you are not alone

We all know how you are feeling. The intense feelings you are going through now do get less over time, although they are always there in the back of your mind. Please don't turn your back on your son he needs you more than ever. You will get so much help from here over the coming months. You are not alone x

Oh Kerry it's the pits! Read all the forum and give the helpline a call. Take each day at a time, don't feel guilty for anything you feel, dont disclose to anyone just yet other than 1 person you trust, don't make any hasty decisions. Hugs x

I totally share your pain, as I find myself in the same position . I'm heartbroken! Who are you receiving counselling from?
