Losing both parents.

Hi, I am new to the site, I lost my best friend my mum 27/12/23 suddenly, which has left me feeling numb, I had to put my dad in a care home as he had dementia only to lose him on 08/08/24. I am heartbroken and don’t know what todo as I saw my dad every single day in the care home. I feel broken.

Hello @Jan102 ,

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 broken. I’m so sorry to hear about your parents. 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.

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,

Alex
