Dealing with loss

[AnonDD]

Hi all
My first post here but just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experiences as it really does help others, and hopefully helps you too.

I have recently suffered a loss of my mum, who died unexpectedly in her 50s.
My dad died a few years ago from cancer also in his 50s.

I’m feeling so lost but taking one step at a time. I’m thinking of counselling after seeing some of your posts.

Wishing everyone some calm today.

Hello AnonDD,

I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum and your dad. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.

• Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
• Our Grief Coach text service, which sends you personalised text support via SMS
• Our free Online Bereavement Counselling which is held via video chat
• Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.

I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.

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

Take care,
Rhi
