Mum’s heartbreaking post about ‘every day pain’ after son chokes on bouncy ball

A mother has written a heartbreaking post about every day hardships after her son died when he swallowed a bouncy ball.

Anna Davis lost her three-year-old son Alby last March after he choked on a small bouncy ball from a box of party favours intended for his upcoming fourth birthday.

The heartbroken mum, who was pregnant at the time, described how she desperately tried to save Alby – but he died within seconds cradled in her arms.

Writing about her lifetime of grief ahead, Anna, from Tasmania, took to Instagram saying: "These months are a mere glimpse into the remainder of our lifetimes carrying this cumbersome, lonely weight.

"Hours can go by without us feeling consumed by Alby's passing, but every single day there are moments which completely stop us in our tracks and have us pining for a 'what should have been' life."

Anna went on to describe how hearing his younger brother Acre ask when Alby will be home breaks her heart and how the sound of ambulance sirens is always "hard".

She added: "Driving in our van, purchased in preparation for 4 children, with no need for the second row of seats, is hard.

"Watching Sage, Acre & Arnhem laughing & playing together, knowing how much Alby would’ve loved to join in, is hard.

"Navigating what to believe while desperately hoping that one day we may see him again, is hard.

"Saying goodnight to Acre every evening as he lays in Alby’s bed, is hard.

"Witnessing all of our friends’ children growing, changing & evolving, is hard.

"Hearing an ambulance siren is hard.

Acre asking, ‘is Alby in there?’ every time he sees an ambulance, is hard. Acre asking ‘where actually *is* Alby?’ is hard.
