My worst nightmare has come true

Shadow2 said:
So so sorry to hear about the passing of your son mate, can't even begin to imagine what you and your granddaughters are going through right now.

My brother lost his son not too long ago in tragic and unexpected circumstances, he was a few years younger than your son, it was like my brother's whole world ended in that moment and in essence a part of him died with his boy that day.

I know everybody grieves in their own way mate but right now the only thing you can do is take one day at a time and although the pain will seem unbearable for you all make sure you talk of your boy with the girls and those close to you every day, remember all the good times you shared and celebrate his life, it's that that will give you, the girls and the rest of the family the strength to push through the pain.

For what it's worth my thoughts are with you and yours mate, my sincerest and deepest condole

A very thoughtful and well put post, S2. My brother lost his son five years back; a big part of him is lost, too. It's really not in life's script. I can't even begin to believe I could cope with such a devastating loss.

Sincere condolences to you and your family and to Daniel’s 2 daughters, can’t imagine the pain you’re going through RIP Daniel take care YNWA
 
Words can never say how you feel, my son left this world 29th December 2016, aged 27 at his own hand.
Pain, emptiness and "what if's" swirl around your head. Everyone said how brave his mother were coping, I could barely keep it together.
You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies losing a child destroys a part of you that you never know existed.
Requiescat in Pace

Thank you Mag7 , for your kind words and thoughts , Sarah my wee sister in law so young. It is terribly sad and my heart goes out to McGarrell, no parent should ever have to bury their children ever .
On a side note we've just been informed it will be March 6th Sarah's service.
March 6 makes it 19 days in the morgue without a post mortem I mean wtaf?
For all the stick that Scotland, its NHS and supporting services get it is light years ahead of England and Wales, still trying to take that in right now.

That's truly awful TT so sad and sorry for your loss. Deepest condolences to you it was 2016 I lost my wee ma, and a piece of me as well.
May your Son , young Daniel, Sarah, my wee ma all rest in peace 🙏
Also all those of us who are suffering in one way or another. No one is forgotten,
Micheal Duffy ' faither ' of the noise also.

This forum/site is way more, far far more than a football forum it reflects the suffering we all share in life and more .
Said before YNWA, is no slogan its the reality of the Celtic Noise and the Celtic supporters family at its best.
From the well being thread to the outpouring of love and genuine sadness that if ever a person was in any doubt about that , if they've read either they know for certain now Celtic is more than a football club , or a business its a unique club , so much so that even a Chilean football club I doubt like myself any of us had ever heard of are paying homage to the humanity on display.
Celtic supporters never walk alone , never.

Certainly not what your family need Winter given the sorrow they are already experiencing. I hope their love and unity gives them some kind of strength to cope.

Although it's impossible for me to know what you have gone, and I'm sure still go through, I think I have at least some idea of you and your good lady's pain,TT. As I've stated on another answer on this thread, one of my brothers lost his son a while back. I still see the pain in his eyes, hear it in his voice, and feel it's presence when we are together.

I just can't find words to express my deep sorrow at such awful times.

Apologies for abridging your post to a single sentence, but, it captures all for me.
Few days ago while driving, song sung by Andrea Botticelli came over the radio:
"Time to say goodbye"
Wife commented, "What wrong", never cried, but as you say above it appears in your eyes, could not talk for a good few minutes.
Dad's have broken hearts but, society demands we never show that weakness, how often I wanted to sit and sob is countless, society only allows mother that relief.

Heartfelt thoughts to you TT.... the loss of your son is so tragic.
I agree those words from Frank brought it home as my youngest brother lost his 19 year old daughter over a decade ago but of course the sadness and loss will never leave him.
It is painful for me to see how this has affected the rest of his life but he some how keeps going as he has to as others still need his love in his family. Look after yourself TT. YNWA.
