A year without my son — I’ve finally opened his bedroom door David Roberts’s two-year-old son Finny died this time last year after being discharged from hospital. Here, he writes about this bitter anniversary

A whole year since Finny died. We miss him terribly. But we are still here.

Wrote about the anniversary in @thetimes.com

I wrote for The Sunday Times about losing our Finny and the ghastly and useless inquest process.
