ben was born on 8th march 1984 to lisa and gary titombe weighing in at
7lb 14oz he was a beautiful healthy baby boy. When ben was 2 years old he was diagnosed with a
condition called nephrotic syndrome, which meant that ben's kidneys werent working properly.
The whole family was devastated as ben was admitted to hospital to be put on a course of steriods.
The doctors told us ben would never outgrow this problem and would need medication for the rest of
his life, but ben being ben proved them all wrong and after regular bouts in hospital at the age of
5 was given the all clear. Ben was a beautiful handsome little boy with blonde hair and the deepest
blue eyes and a wicked sence of humour even at that young age. He grew up to be an exceptional young
man with loads of friends and a smile that was contagious and he had a real zest for life.
One friday night when ben was 14 years old he was staying the night at a friends house and unbeknown
to gary and myself ben and a group of friends decided to go out, we received a phone call later that
night saying ben had been involved in an accident and we needed to get to the hospital quickly, ben
had been hit by a car crossing the road and had life threatening injuries, he was transferred later
that evening to another hospital with a neurological intensive care. This was to be the worst week
of our lives, ben was on a life support machine for 1 week before we was told that his brain had
died and we had to let him go. Ben had been interested in organ donation so after much agonising
gary and myself decided that if that was bens wish then we needed to do it. He helped 4 people to
live their lives to the full as he had always done.
Ben left behind 2 beautiful sisters, jodie who is now 19 and lauren who is 9
they both miss him very much as we all do, but as long as we all breathe he will be apart of our
lives and will never be forgotten.
Our son was a special gift,
one we thought would stay
I never thought the time would come
when he was called away,
but when that moment come
and we tried to say goodbye
the pain just overwhelmed us
and all we done was cry.
God taught us many things in life
that we would have to do
but Ben he never taught us
how to cope with losing you
they say that hearts dont really break
dear lord thats just not true
the day you took our son away
you broke our hearts in two.
So if there is another life
and we are born once more
i pray dear lord you'll give me back
the son we had before
xxxxxxx
What ever i do
im thinking of you
What ever i do
im missing you
What ever i do
Im sreaming inside
What ever i do
im still loving you
from the depth of my soul
IM LOST WITHOUT YOU
How does a mother continue without her child
SHE DOESNT
She may eat and she may sleep
She may breath and even speak
But
SHE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME !
A BROKEN HEARTED MOTHER
It's an entity all it's own
with it's pain that's never really gone.
It has many thoughts and faces
But very few reality traces.
It makes you ask many a question
All of which you try to shun.
What~When~Where~If Why?
Could I have done something, so my child wouldn't die?
These are what every parent asks
This part of grief is a heart wrenching task.
Hours turn to days~days to months~months to years
This is the war~you fight without gear.
You feel bare and naked and all alone
at times, you feel like you can't go on.
You say "This happens to someone else ~ not me!"
This I think every parent would agree.
But this time it really is you
You scream "No No No" but it's oh so true.
This nightmare that never ends
With these feelings~ you just can't pretend.
People say "Well you sure look good!"
Don't they know we would die if only we could.
Yes, grief has it's own way
While we endure it and live day to day.

WITHOUT YOU
My heart is torn in two
WITHOUT YOU
There is no sunshine
WITHOUT YOU
There is no joy
WITHOUT YOU
My heart will always cry
WITHOUT YOU
I am nothing
My beauitful son that once was here
I want the world to know
I loved you very dear
WITHOUT YOU
I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD BE HERE WITHOUT YOU
The beauitful sunshine
you bought to my life
Is now filled with darkness
for the rest of my life
This is a battle i cannot win
Ben has gone
[God ] cant you see there is no normal life for me
How will i ever get though this life without you Ben
My tears are slow and steady
My pain is so real and true
They say [god] took my boy to be an angel
WHAT A WICKED THING TO DO
Where do i begin
i dont know where to start
perhaps i should just pause for a moment
And let the words pour from my heart
But im still shocked and traumatized
by the loss of my BELOVED SON
Where do i begin
i dont know where to start
My beauitful child has gone away
im left so distroyed in the most awful way
If hell does'nt exist
Then heaven is a lie
BUT THIS IS SURLEY HELL
So there has to be a heaven
where they have my precious boy
I CRY
I CRY
I CRY
FOR MY PRECIOUS BEAUITFUL BOY
BEN TITCOMB
My beauitful son

Could you please do that for me
