I feel like part of me is gone

My nanny and I had a strong bond she passed on Sunday the 10th of April 2022 her birthday was on the 29th of April she turned 80 it just feels like part of me has gone too my heart feels like it has been snapped into pieces since my best friend left I’m unsure how to continue I’ve thought about smoking again but she wouldn’t want me to I’ve thought about other alternatives but there are none that will bring her back I’ve got her wedding ring on a necklace and a teddy and keyring made from her jumper’s the depression is crippling and I just want my best friend to come home and tell me it was all one big nightmare

Hello @Shannonmissyoujackie,

I’m so sorry to hear about your nanny. It sounds as though things are very difficult at the moment and you are struggling to cope.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. You might already be familiar with our other Online Bereavement Support services, but if not, you can find out more about our Online Counselling service, and our Grief Guide self-help tools by visiting the link.

Another good place to look at is: Sue Ryder Grief Guide

Take care - keep reaching out,
