I lost my dad 3 months ago, I took 6 weeks off work then had 2 weeks off for Christmas, spending much of that time clearing his house. I’m struggling to want to socialise with my dearest friends, I just want to be with my husband and children, I don’t want to call off nights out but I don’t want to let them down they’ve been so good to me. Is this normal?
Hi, so sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 4.5 weeks ago unexpectedly and I feel guilty just doing normal day to day things, I can relate to how you’re feeling to. Its my bday next week and I’m not interested in the slightest, lifes not the same anymore. Sending you lots of strength and try and be kind to yourself x
So sorry for your loss, I don’t know if it’s easier knowing they’re going to pass or not, dad was diagnosed 11 months before he passed. He died 10 days before my birthday so I understand how you feel. Just go with how you feel day by day, it’s hard because you can’t predict how you’ll feel sometimes. Been 3 months for me.
Yeah I’ve been taking each day as it comes. Some days I think its all a nightmare and I am going to wake up… Maybe see how you feel on the day and if you decide to go out, go and come home if you need to, try not to be so hard on yourself and take the time you need. Honestly going through this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with.
It’s so hard, take care x
