Financial worries after bereavement

The loss of my mother recently has sent shock waves in my life. I am filled with anxiety. Before she died I already suffered from some sort of ocd or gad. Now it’s peaked. On top of these anxieties is the worry about now my financial future as I’m living in a flat with parents, now only dad left. Work doesn’t pay enough.

On the outside I look fine to people, because that’s the only thing that people in this country want from you is a smile to put them in a good mood. But inside I’m grieving and worrying. I miss her so much.

Hi @music2,

I’m sorry you’re feeling so worried. Grief is stressful enough as it is.

You may have already looked into this, but it might be worth checking to see if there’s any benefits you’d be entitled to. The Entitledto benefit calculator can give you a good idea.

Thank you for getting back to me. I’ll have a look at it thank you.
