Karen Skellett: “I just don’t want other parents to have to go through this.”
Jack Skellett, 23, drowned in Wellington Harbour just before Christmas in 2021, after setting off in a second-hand kayak he’d recently bought.
His mother, Karen, is sharing her story in the hope others don’t have to experience her pain.

KAREN....I lost my own son 2018. I UNDERSTAND YOUR GRIEF. The day I buried my son, I sat on my porch after the funeral thinking of the days event. As I thought about his death grieving my loss, I heard a voice say...REMEMBER the birth...and instantly I recalled that day...the voice then said..Only in the physical is the cord severed...in spirit you are still attached. That gave me peace..I hope these words may help..knowing, you are still attached to your boy in spirit. ♥

As a mother I’m so sorry this happened to your son! He looks lovely from the photo. My deepest condolences.
So sorry for your loss. 😢We know that pain. We lost our 25 year old beautiful granddaughter in 2020. Heartbreaking. ❤ 💜
So sad, deepest sympathies for your tragic loss
My heart bleeds for you. I came out of my kayak only a week before Jack was reported missing on the news. Fortunately l was out with my husband and a friend. I was tipped out as l prepared to turn around to go back to the beach. I had lost focus and was broadside when a wave tipped me out, fortunately I was able to radio for help., but l could’ve get back in the kayak as my life jacket was catching on the lip of the kayak. The guys towed me in. We all have electric outboard motors as a backup. Without my companions that day l would not have made it home. So when l heard of Jacks passing, l cried for the longest time. As a mother myself l couldn’t bear loss I g one of my children. Thank you for sharing
We love you Karen ❤️
Remember: *Grief is Love that has nowhere to go.* 💜 Also know, that the second one passes over, all pain is instantly gone. You go to a place that is warm, bright, and loving. You feel like that feeling you get when you fall in love for the first time. Best wishes. 💞
