Hi
I’m new to the group.
I lost my Dad suddenly in 2020 to undiagnosed lung cancer and negligence that made an operation go wrong, which was aweful.
I need advice on how to cope better with grief, is it normal to get very angry with grief, with anxiety attacks, then get depressed, can’t stop crying for two hours once a week every week, the cycle just keeps repeating. I’m trying to help my Mum cope, survive, as well as fix some things. Any advice appreciated. I’ve been singing for relaxation. Thanks.
Dear @JS116
Welcome to the Community. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.
Grief is a horrible rollercoaster ride of emotions and anger is one of them. What you are going through is normal. Everyone reacts differenly to grief and for some it goes on for months and for others it will be years. There is no right or wrong way to grieve and there is no time limit as to grieving. You grieve at your own pace.
