How can I help my son to get through this nightmare?
He's hurting so badly,a whole year without his sister,the anger and frustration is pushing him to the limit and no explanation,no reason.
Today is the first day of half term,this time last year my son could see his sister slipping away from us.He always looked up to her,they were so close,now he hates her for the pain we have all been through.I can't explain the reasons for what happened,I don't have the answers,I want to hold him close and tell him it will all be ok.......but will it?
I know today's a tough one,he doesn't have to tell me,I can tell by the music.
Certain songs have become symbolic:snow patrol...cars,Paramore...broken, the one on the youtube video for ceop,and of course Greenday.....September
Our lives have been turned upside down and the future scares the hell out of me.
If anything happens to my son I don't think I could go on,yet I can't stop him from living his life.
His big sis should be here to support him,not living a different life away from the people who love her.

Good morning. I guess holidays must be particularly hard for the family because you'd then be spending more time together, perhaps going out and sharing experiences as a family. That must be a time when it is so clear and painful that one of your number is missing.
Your son and daughter probably spent more time with their own friends than they did together, but they would have passed on the stairs, sat at the table together, watched TV sometimes, had chats where they told each other their secrets. They would have been a significant presence in each other's lives and now your son doesn't have that presence.
I really don't know what you can do to ease your son's pain. Maybe you just have to allow him the space to experience that pain and be what his sister is not, a constant and unconditional presence in his life.
Very best regards.

Hi,
I think your son has to deal with the pain in his own way and i guess he is doing that with the love and support that you are giving him.
