Dear @Victoriab
Welcome to the Community. I so sorry for your loss. Grief is so overwhelming and you have had a tough time with not one but 2 losses in a short space of time and you are still grieving the loss of your husband. That is more than anyone can take.
Have you considered booking an appointment with your GP to discuss how you are feeling and what you are going through? Your GP could refer you to Counselling should you wish or let you know if there are any local support groups in your area.
There are a couple of organisations that can support you and Sue Ryder here has bereavement support and counselling service.
Cruse Bereavement offer a helpline, email support, counselling and support through their local services.
You will get through this. You are not alone. We are here to support you and your family. You have made the first big step by reaching out and please continue to do so.
If there is any more we can do to support you or you need more information please email online.community@sueryder.org
Take care.

hello Victoria, I am so sorry for your loss I can relate to what you are going through. I was the carer to my parents and since they passed I am like a lost soul but I came to this site for help. And you have reached out here also I am waiting for grief counselling because I am not coping perhaps you could try counselling. take care kate88
