  My son died aged 26. I live near fields and the cows had just been seperated from their calves... I remember hearing their despairing bellowing in the night and thinking that if I could make any sound that would be the noise I would make. It was 12 years ago .... life grows bigger around it but it never gets any less

  This story I can so relate too, lost my daughter Isabelle aged 16 in a accident, I too carry Izzy in my heart and have those conversations with her always it brings me peace and calm, I have people send me photos of rainbows 🌈 and its tge kindest thing, always talk in the present moment and mention your loved ones thats the greatest gift to a grieving parent, to always say your child's name ❤️ 🌈 x

  I too have gone through an unthinkable trauma - my teenage (13) daughter Sophie suddenly died. &nbsp;I completely relate to the &apos;noise&apos; coming out of you when you&apos;re told your child is dead 💔🖤The police were really kind and collected my parents from their home to say goodbye to Sophie in hospital, and like Will she looked so peaceful. &nbsp; <br>I too feel as though Sophie is with me...I think about her everyday and speak to her often.<br>I hadn&apos;t experienced death in the family and so, I had no idea what to expect, her death was so sudden and unexpected.<br>Thanks Davina for having this interview💚

  Liz is amazing, so strong &amp; graceful. &nbsp;Will lives on in so many people. What a fantastic mother you are. I can see the heartbreak, yet you keep going on, trying to help others. Thank you Liz for sharing your story

  My best friend&apos;s 22 yr old son died the same year in 2015 in a tragic accident and his organs were also donated. So sad. My friend&apos;s life changed forever that day. His name is Kevin and the thing my friend is so afraid of is that he will be forgotten. Whenever he pops into my mind, I let my friend know. Kevin&apos;s annual charity baseball tournament is this weekend so we raise money in his memory. Life can change in an instant. Big hugs from Toronto 🇨🇦🙏💕🦋

  That was heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. I cried with you, Liz. Thank you for sharing Will with us, he seemed like a wonderful human - with a mom like you, no wonder. &nbsp;How honorable that you donated Will&apos;s organs, he lives on in 12 other people &nbsp;and in you and everyone who loved him. All my love and strength &lt;3
