As a parent who has lost a son - I feel this immensely. At least you can see his face. That’s more than I can say for mine. He’ll forever be 12 years old to me. What helped me was giving back. I’m sure the road ahead will be hard, but don’t give up.
Very sorry to hear. I lost my boy five years ago and it just isn't something that ever gets better in the true sense, but we all have to learn how to live with it somehow.
Around the same timeframe and same outcome. Stay strong. I know exactly how you feel.
What was your son like?
I’d rather not, if you don’t mind.
No worries. I understand.

The original piece was good at emphasising that enforcing extemporaneous politeness rules around what you're allowed to say to people in different situations wasn't a priority for the author.
