don’t be hard on yourself. Just feel what you feel. You’re bound to be confused still. If you can reach out to anyone to talk, that may help and lots of people on here can understand what you’re going through.

this is a safe place and all of us have experienced loss and understand. please keep posting if you feel bad
Hi there. Sorry to hear of your loss. It’s always better to let grief out. Cry, shout. Please don’t bottle it up. It can cause more problems in the long term. We are all on this horrible journey. I try to keep very busy to distract myself. But I’ve often read it’s good to set aside a time, maybe each day, to spend thinking about them and getting through the grief. Maybe you could have a photo and spend time talking out loud to her, telling her how you are coping and everything you are going through. I believe their spirit is around us and guiding us, and I do believe they can hear and understand what we are going through. I found in the early days of my loss I was so very tearful and I did often find little signs that perhaps she was trying to come through and help me through this. Big hugs. xxx
