Its been a week since we lost my cousin to cancer. I have been really struggling to cope with it. I get good days and bad days. How do you get through it. I suffer with anxiety anyway and am struggling to sleep and keep getting palpations now too… how am i supposed to deal with losing another relative to cancer

Hello @Katielou87 ,

I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are struggling to cope and wondering how to get through your grief. I’m so sorry to hear about your cousin and other family members. 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.

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,

Alex

If you are suffering badly a visit to one gp may help to start wiith . I am so sorry for your very sad love . I suppose just try day to day a little at a time .l lost my wife from. Vascular dimentia on the 10th feb and she was laid to rest on tuesday. How far have you got with the bits and pieces as it is so stressful grieving there is no one given answer as we are all different. Have you familly or friends to help at all it lifts the burden and please take care of your self anxiety and palpations are not unusual but if your gp would see you it might help . I am haveing bereavement councilling as well which helps with cruise. You are very brave to start doing a note on here keep it up talking helps ken oxford
