Hello,
I suddenly lost my mum in October 2021, which somehow is now over a year and a half!
I wasn’t to bad at first, even for the first 6 to 9 months…but since then I seem to have been not coping in daily life, a lot of normal things seem hard work and over the course I have started thinking the worst outcome with a large amount of daily things. such as I noticed that when my dad calls me I think the worst has happened. This is going back to the various phone calls that were obviously made during the time of loosing my mum. It all happened within 48 hours and was so unexpected. Has anyone else experienced similar things and feelings?
Hello Cwinny,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. There’s no timeline on grief, and different feelings can turn up along the journey.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that might be helpful.
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
Hey @Cwinny i can relate to what youre saying. I lost my Mam in March 2022 and her death was extremely sudden. Although i am coping okay i, like you do catastrophise a fair bit. I think its just our minds trying to protect us from having a shock of that nature again.
When i find myself doing it i talk to myself and talk myself around.
Losing a parent is traumatic and sudden deaths are harder for us to process.
