Sorry to hear you have gone through this. Did you manage to speak to anyone? The discussion section of the forum gets most traffic if you have any questions or want to read through other posts. It is a trauma and a shock so well done for reaching out. Take care xx

Hello Karen-Jean

I am so sorry you have found yourself here, but you have come to the right place for support. It is very understandable that you are shocked as you are trying to process the trauma that you have been through with the 'knock'

I hope you have managed to make contact with the helpline/live chat. They will be able to provide advice/support to both you and your son.

Please take care of yourself and keep posting here x

Hello,

We all understand here.

The shock is astounding, isnt it.

It took me about 2 months to be able to process real life again.. i didnt speak to friends or family for weeks, wasnt interested in anything else at all. Everything dawned on me every slowly and I think this is normal.

If I could talk to myself in those first few days I would tell myself to speak to the solicitor, write everything down and eat something.

I cried every morning when i woke up but that has stopped for now.

Sending love. x

Ps - I agree with Alison. The trauma of The Knock alone is something in itself!!!

I thought I had been through rough situtions, but The Knock tops it all off at the moment! Take it easy x

You are definitely not alone, it's the terrible sick realisation of waking up to the same sinking feeling . I don't think I will ever get over the shock. I've made an appointment with the GP but no one can make it go away. Not sure there is any point in going

Thank you so much for responding. It's only been two weeks now since 'the knock' it's really hard as he's my son & I love him so much but just can't accept the situation. I've gone on a bit of a drinking spree but I know it's not helping I just wanna num it all out.



Hes been honest right from the start! And it's the details that I just can't deal with, it's just awful. I live with all males so I am so thankful for this help ...????????
