Dealing with loss

Afternoon
I lost my mum last may then my uncle 6 weeks later
I feel like I’m doing everything wrong and really struggling to cope I don’t want to go down the path of taking tablets but I need some support of coping mechanisms to help me because it’s starting to affect me at work

Thanks
Charlotte

Hello @Charlotte9,

I can see that you’re new to the community, so I wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your mum and uncle that brings you here.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help right now.

  • Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief

  • Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.

I’ve also made your topic public so that you can get support from other members.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.

Take care,
Seaneen

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way I myself am struggling too and peri menopause isn’t helpful either .. I have tried trying ….. a sleep tea with honey before bed .. joining this community. Walking doing odd jobs in house like cleaning out a cupboard writing my thoughts down talking to people who actually care . Remind myself my mum in my case wants me to be brave and keep going and not worry about work as we are just a number. I also do muscle relax
