Hello @Elainek,

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 the loss of your family member, two friends, and your pet rabbit in such a short space of time. That is an overwhelming amount of loss to face, and it’s completely understandable that you are feeling heartbroken. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and 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:

Hi

This is my first post. So I hope I get this right. Your message resonated with me. I feel this pain - there aren’t any words that can express the pain. I am dealing with the sudden deaths of my step-dad and mum, but then lost my 14yr old dog then18 yr old cat within weeks of each other. Then my best friend lost her hubby so i’m helping her through her grief. I often feel I can’t do this anymore. I’m not sure i’m strong enough.
