SHARE YOUR STORY

SADS UK welcomes stories from members about their experiences, loss, grief and how SADS, sudden cardiac death has affected them. Sharing our stories with others can be healing and many people benefit from knowing they are not alone in suffering a loss.

With a sudden loss there is just no time to mentally prepare for what life would be like without a loved one in it. While it may be incredibly painful, we need to take time to reconcile in our minds what has happened, to try to make sense of something that seems to makes no sense. People need to be given an opportunity to talk about their loved one and assimilate what has happened, to speak or write about their unbelievable and devastating loss.

The disbelief lasts longer than we’d think. The direction our life took, the things that were supposed to happen that didn’t or never will.

In loss, it’s about finding those with whom we have our grief in common. It’s about finding those who will listen to our story and show us that we’re not alone. Sharing your story can help…
