He said: “How can I find the words to describe the impact that the tragic death of my son Jack had on my life and that of my family. there is no. Losing a child is at least heartbreaking, but losing a child in such a horrible, inconceivable way is not something anyone could ever come to terms with or accept. It’s not something that any parent has to deal with or think about. “I feel that a huge part of my interior has been removed from me, I feel empty and numb, I can not focus on anything and the pain is unbearable. The circumstances and the thought of how my son Jack must have felt at that moment. lonely, in pain, scared to death haunts me every day and night, I can not close my eyes at night and think of nothing else. “I turned to alcohol. a lot of alcohol and I took more drugs than I should, trying desperately to reduce the pain, something I have never done before and it put a lot of pressure on my relationship with my wife and my other children, but I could not see anyone else way to spend every day. “I’m not ashamed to admit it, but I’m struggling to find a reason to get up in the morning and live another day with Jack. I have the amazing support of my wife, my children and my immediate family, but it does not seem to make a difference to me, my thoughts or anything, nothing eases the pain, I just find it very difficult, it is very difficult. “My family has asked for professional help for me, but I can not bear to talk about it, to relive this horrible day is not something I can face right now. I am ashamed that my wife and children are also suffering so much from Jack’s death and I can not comfort them or be by their side as my husband and dad should be, but the pain and emptiness I feel drain me from all my strength… “Jack was 10 years old and he had his whole life ahead of him, but it was taken away so pointlessly and so tragically. I will never see him become young, learn to drive, get married or have children of his own, his brothers and sisters are so young they will not remember him. “The only thing I can pray for is to justify Jack’s untimely death and take lessons to prevent any other child and family from suffering like us.”
