Hi all I’m new here, just thought I’d introduce myself, I lost my brother in Jan 2020 unexpectedly, I then lost my step dad to cancer in may2022 and then lost my dad in October 2022, I just feel so alone and lost , I’m in a place where I can’t seem to move forward or shift it, I’m literally a shadow of my self and I don’t know how to get myself out of the dark hole iv fell into, so I guess iv came here to talk to people who are in similar situations or have been in similar situations, xxx
Hello Blueeyes2,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling. I’m so sorry to hear about your brother, stepdad and dad. That sounds like a lot to cope with, and it’s ok to feel overwhelmed right now. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.
- Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
- Our Grief Coach text service, which sends you personalised text support via SMS
- Our free Online Bereavement Counselling which is held via video chat
- Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.
Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.
Take care,
Rhi
