Got my bereavement group today - the last 2 sessions have not gone great so my backup plan this week is im meeting my cousin immediately afterwards, so if it goes badly im not going home alone and getting really upset.
Also chased a friend about meeting up as i feel so desperately alone. But i dont want to have to chase friends to say " i need to see you more than once a month" because my head says if they havent offered to meet up, then clearly theyre not that bothered/too busy.

She is and she knows exactly when to stop talking and give me 5 mins x
I hope your group session goes ok today have you heardd anything about the one to one sessions yet xx I know you will benefit from them better x
Hi @Ally6
I know exactly what you mean only I haven’t had the courage to reach out to anyone as I think the same as you, they’re too busy/not bothered
How did you find out about your bereavement group, I think I could benefit from it
Take care 
Thank you - no im still waiting on the counselling - hoping they might give me an update today, but have started looking at private therapists as i may have to just bite the bullet and go private.

Hi @Pixiecat the group i go to is organised by the local hospice (even though my mum didnt attend the hospice they were supporting me as a carer) so it might be worth checking your local area to see if you could access anything similar. Sue Ryder also run "grief kind spaces " in some areas - its worth just having a look online. Some of the groups are more aimed at socialising rather than therapy, so it depends what you’re looking for.
I have absolutely no idea what this will be like but wanted to share in case anyones interested - free webinar tomorrow night with Julia Samuels - she has a book and app called Grief Works. (If you dont trust links look her up on facebook and the webinar invite is there.) Ive listened to some interviews with the host and she seems very switched on so i thought i might give it a try. Im sure there will be an element of trying to sell her book/app of course!
No idea why link is coming up in german!

You could check if the local church arranges something, that’s the kind of grief group I’m waiting to attend.

I’m the same, it would feel like begging. You’d think they would offer themselves, realising that we’re alone, but maybe they don’t want to intrude.

I am the same. I winter people j am struggling. At work they say just find me if you want a cuppa. I am not going to do that either.
Right now I feel like quitting everything.

Aww don’t do that Becca you have worked so hard to get where you are I know it’s really hard for you at the moment try not to be too hard on yourself you need to give yourself time to adjust to everything going forward xx
I just want to cry. Tomorrow marks 6 months since my mom died. It feels like a big milestone. I am so exhausted with life.
I bought myself some pink roses today as they remind me of my mom. My heart hurts so much.
