Are you struggling with grief?

[chloe40]

I know so many of you here and we've been through this journey called grief. Lots of you have now found you can take the next steps in your life, but some are still stuck, if that's you, please do post<3

I'm not sure if its grief but I just feel so sad all the time.There are still other issues in my family to worry about that keep me awake at night.I miss talking to my mum about it all.

Hi Sandra,I'm really sorry you're feeling like this <3

I know you have family issues which really don't help when you're grieving and our lost loved one is the first thought we think when we are facing family troubles, it's something we would do if they are with us.

If you feel family life is unlikely to change in the foreseeable, please consider having support from a therapist or doctor.

I'm always available if you want to private message me <3

I`m a bit like Sandrdsn when other life issues get in the way I tend to dwell on my losses.not had a great couple of weeks even changed my mobile screen saver of my mum/son to my Mrs and two other sons because looking at it in current circumstances had me thinking things I didn`t want to think.

That's such a shame Kenny <3We, or I always think in times of trouble that I'd ring this one or that one, it's something we did when we could.

I agree, during troubled times, if we see photos and in your case your screensaver, the grief seems magnified.

I hope it settles soon Kenny <3

I feel I have been unable to grieve for my sister. As trying to stay strong for bruv in law. Its been 5 months now since she passed. I feel like I've tucked it away in part of my brain x

Hi Skyp

I’m really not surprised that you’ve get unable to grieve. You’ve been a support to you brother in law at your own expense I’m sad to say.

While that’s admirable, at some point you will need to take some time for yourself and your thoughts Skyp

Let’s hope that’s soon, maybe a weekend to start and build up from there if you can.

Sending love 💕

Chloe
