Grief and Anxiety

It’s been a while since I have posted on here . Some of my last posts was my anxiety and heart rate etc when going into the hospital to dad back in November last year .

Sadly Dad passed away on the 4th January . The loss and grief I’m going through just isn’t easing at all . Some days I’m so andry , other days I just cry and then the anxiety has come back with a vengeance . I’m constantly tired and could just sleep and some days i just want to stay in bed . My heart rate has been quiet high of late , so now I’m petrified of having a stroke .

Life sux big time and it’s real hard to go forward . I miss my dad terribly 😪💔💔💔

Dearest Jodz, I am so very sorry about the recent loss of your father. You need to give

yourself time. The pain is too raw yet. Are you seeing a grief counselor? It would help

with all the emotions you are feeling right now. Your doctor may be able to give you a

little medication to help you through this difficult period as well as lower your h/r.

It's been years since my own father died a tragic death. Not a day goes by that I don't

miss him. But if it is any consolation, the emotional pain in your heart will lessen in

time. Nothing to do with the love you will always feel for your dad.

Jodz, give yourself the space you need right now. Losing a parent is one of the hardest

things in life to go through. But you will get through this when the time is right.

I wish I could be there to hold your hand and comfort you. But know that we are

only a message away. This is your safe place to come when feeling alone.

Sending my love to you. Agora1 xx

Oh Agora1 Thankyou from the bottom of my heart . Yes it’s still very very raw . I have been to the Drs and he said to take my Kalma more if I have to . I have friends and family that I talk to . I lost mum nearly 5 years ago but loosing Dad seems to be so so much harder .

But my anxiety is now throwing in different symptoms and I swear some days I’m loosing it . The merry go round just keeps going . I’m so exhausted it’s not funny .

Thankyou again 😘

Hey Jodz, my heart goes out to you. I recently lost my younger brother. Grieving takes time and doesn't play out the same from person to person or even loss to loss. Stay the course with your Dr. and try not to beat yourself up. I went to a greif group in my church, and it really helped explain things. It's been a bit easier, knowing a little more about how our emotions react to loss.

Sending prayers your way.
