I still feel numb after 9 years

@LIZ241213, I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. Thank you for reaching out here. It sounds like your daughter’s death was so shocking and sudden that you haven’t been able to process it yet.

You mentioned having bereavement counselling and struggling with the interruptions. If this is something you’d consider giving another try, we offer free Online Bereavement Counselling. The sessions are held via video chat. If you think it would be helpful to have a space outside your home to talk about your grief, your GP will be able to put you in touch with local support.

There is a really active and supportive thread for bereaved parents that you may wish to join: https://community.sueryder.org/t/loss-of-our-son-aged-27 Everyone there has lost a child and will understand some of what you are going through.

You might also wish to contact The Compassionate Friends. They have lots of support for parents who have lost a child of any age.

Please do keep reaching out - you are not alone.

Take care,
Seaneen
