Hey @Sars11899 

Welcome to the Parents and Carers forums!

I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine how difficult and challenging this must be for you and your son and I am really glad that you have found our forums.

It must be an incredibly difficult  for you to be dealing with this grief whilst also having to take care of your son, it takes an immense amount of strength and your son is very lucky to have you.

I know you mentioned that you are struggling at the moment and was I wondering if you felt comfortable sharing more about this with us?

I was also wondering whether you have any other supports at the moment to help take care of you as well as helping with your son, whether it be a friend, family member, GP or mental health professional? It's important that you are receiving all the support available to you for both yourself, as well as your son.
