No my life seems worse than ever especially this time of the year. I cannot see any future, I feel so low with so much and trying to cope is extremely difficult and feel so isolated 😓

not yet hardly had the chance to properly grieve as we have family issues taking over our every thought.if I could take the pain until the new year then I would be more hopeful.when our situation has a conclusion then we can move on.

Hello Kenny kenster1

I know you really haven't had any time to yourself to cope with your grief but I do hope that you situation improves very soon .

I just miss my mum so much, and that doesn't get any easier. I will never be as close to anyone else in my family (I have no partner or children) or any of my friends as my mum was just so very special. Like Charlotte22 says, I often feel isolated. I voted "I really don't know" as some days don't seem so bleak, but on other days, those "waves" wash over me and I'm in bits.

I don't know at what stage I'm meant to feel stronger. It was a year on 2nd November, and it still feels really raw, however I feel that people around me expect me to be "over it" now.

Hi Ladybird25

I think we all miss our Mums don't we? that special relationship we have and of course everyone here has had a special relationship with a loved one. Sometimes everyday is different when grieving but suddenly you'll find you have more 'okay days' and are coping better. There's no set time to get 'over grieving' so just take each day as it comes x

Thank you Chloe. I wish family, friends and colleagues understood the time it takes. No one seems to make allowances for those 'off' days when it all seems so hard. Most of the time I have my 'okay days', but there are days when I feel so vulnerable, isolated and alone. As you say though, I need to take each day as it comes.

I believe i was "turning that corner" until another loved one passed on in Sept. Major depression came back full force.

I have been trying to create milestones in my life to show I am on new path.

I FEEL that all the support and help I have been grateful for has made little change.
