More devastating news


A very good friend phoned me this afternoon to tell me that when she went to wake her son this morning he had died in his sleep. He was 19. He had not been ill at all. I was actually at his birth and he was my godson. She lives in Reading, so I don't get to see her too often sadly. I just can't believe it, it must be every parents worst nightmare. I feel totally devastated, so can't begin to imagine how she must be feeling.

Re: More devastating news


Oh no!! how terrible, it just doesn't comprehend how awful it must be for a parent to find that their child has passed away like that.

It happened to Martin's work colleague, his girlfriend got woken up by him making a strange breathing sound, when she woke up he seemed ok, then she realised he had stopped breathing and she couldn't wake him, he died in his sleep. He was fit and healthy.

Re: More devastating news


What a terrible terrible shock for all concerned, as Emma has said it is not uncommon I don't think a man I work with Paul his nephew died in similar circumstances last year....he was 18 and his Mom had gone in to check on him about 11pm..
....after having a funny feeling. He was fine and complained at being woken. So when she had the feeling again about 4am she stopped herself going to check he was found dead the next morning by his younger brother who he shared a room with.......Scott had not been ill either.

My thoughts are with his family Kim and with you and yours...heartbreaking
just heartbreaking.
