I’m really struggling, it’s been 5 weeks and 5 days since I lost my most wonderful dad. I just can’t seem to function properly. I have spent most of the day in tears. As it’s mother’s day my son and his family wanted to come and see me, but I just couldn’t cope with the fact I would have to make polite conversation to his wife and my adult step grandchildren, so I put them off, now I feel guilty for not seeing them.

I’m sure they understand, don’t feel guilty about it, it’s so early and you’re still in shock. It’s been a few months since I lost my dad, who was my best friend, and I struggle to function even now. I go through the motions, to a point, but mostly on autopilot and everything feels upside down and broken. My deepest sympathies.

Hi @Kay55
I’m so sorry for your loss
Grieving is a very slow process and you’ll still be very raw. It takes time to work through it
I’m sure your family will understand, and guilt is a huge part of grieving
Just concentrate on you and take a day at a time
