Hello Marg1 and Seaneen I appreciate your help am Sorry for the delay in getting back not very savvy with how to use this support site.
I have no Internet connection only use my mobile phone which is not easy with its limitations and small impractical size.!.
As such I dont have any access or anything like Facebook, my Siblings both were not even technically minded my Sister has pc but was unable to use MyGP service with no mobile phone.
My Brother was the opposite he had a mobile as a community carer it was a necessity BUT he has no desire or knowledge how to use a computer and he didn’t own one…
My contact with them was phone calls via landline and mobile.
I will definitely look at the siblings website appreciate you telling me. I’d feel daft going on FB I don’t understand how it works and all I know is that it’s social network and I tend to be very uncomfortable with all that as I hear stuff about it so don’t bother to get involved.
I’m just so shocked reading how many people YOUNG people have posted on here lost their soul mates long term spouses and partners and I wish I’d never posted because I feel so sorry and bad for their losses and I’m here talking about siblings that’s seems like a walk in the park compared to others!
Even they have children, I don’t, but they find no comfort in that fact… I’m left feel deeply unbelievably sad for their loss.
I think they are brave people who have posted on this support site. I’ve actually had to stop reading some of these posts because it’s so difficult to comprehend and afraid I don’t have any answers or help for how you can possibly move on…
I have had my eyes opened for sure and I have seen more than I ever thought I’d see here and wondering is this amount of people seeking support normal or something very unprecedented?
I have been in touch with my local Cruse for f2f support as I don’t have Internet access.
They replied straight back to me giving me 2 weeks notice for support due to HIGH demand for f2f and but that was in October 2 months and counting ago!.
Also still haven’t heard back from the Hospital Breavement follow up support for family whose loved one’s passed away in Hospital in 3 month’s…
They did tell me very often its not needed by families and I would be seen quickly which has now been turned on its head with the amount of people who like me who have requested accepted follow - up Hospital Breavement…
My in-laws are in the process of getting ready for xmas and whereas myself and my Husband don’t want to know, they’ve never included us as we have always done different things at this time of year…
Sister and partner was never into Xmas festivities and spend it on their own and my Brother had his 2 children to spend it with… As his wife left him 6 year’s ago they were still married when he passed away last week…
But he was very much alone during Covid-19 months when he was working with vulnerablities and he could not take early retirement he cashed in private pension to part buy his mrs her house…
He knew when covid hit he’d have to sell his house that he fought HARD to KEEP,…
But cutting down working hours to cut down his Risks of getting covid repeatedly (had it badly once) caught it from his Daughter, he downsized moved into caravan on a residential site…
Just 2 days after he passed his 1st Grandchild was born, sadly he wasn’t here to see, but they are all in awe now and the focus is all on the baby.
That is something my husband and me can’t even feel happy about, as we are numb totally emotionless!
It’s just not important, I’ve lost my siblings and that’s a raw unprecedented loss and feeling of 60 years and can’t believe they are both gone, forever!
Maybe I am just hard, but I seeing them happy and I’m not…
I just feel desperately SAD for my Sister and Brother illness and taken from us too soon!.
