Evening
I lost my dad a month today following a battle with dementia. I ended up having to tell my mum the news and other main relatives/friends. As my older brother couldn’t cope……
for the last month I have been supporting my mum trying to look after my young son and function - I am feeling like no one is supporting me and I am on my own. I have decided to go back to work to have some me time. But worried if I have made the correct decision

@Izzie1 hey Izzie, so sorry for your loss. I understand what you’re going through, I lost my mum to Alzheimers and I ended up doing the majority on my own and telling everyone and supporting everyone too.
It can be very draining, physically and emotionally. Like you, I was running on empty and had no ear to listen to me. It can be v v hard on your own.
There are plenty of like minded people in this group, going through the same so please chat on here. It does help.
