My mum past away from secondary breast cancer on the 4th Nov 25. I was with her when she past and her passing was so peaceful. Grief has been a roller coaster. I feel so sad. Emotional and o find it hard to stop crying. I thought I had a Handle on them and went back to work, but on the 4 th Dec I relapsed and done a full 360. I’m now again signed off work reason bereavement. Wonder is I’m alone on this or if this is totally normal? Everyone say do what o need to do want to do but I don’t know what that is? I’ve never been here before. I have a lot of support around me, I have also tried bereavement counselling but they say this is too soon. Thanks for letting me waffle xx
Hi @Loulibell,
Thank you for bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. You are not alone. I’m not sure if you’ve seen our Losing a parent category. But there you can connect with other members who are living with grief after losing a parent.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support to you. In the meantime, you might find these Sue Ryder resources helpful to read.

You may also find our returning to work after bereavement page helpful. You can find that here: Returning to work after bereavement - supporting you | Sue Ryder
