Hi, I’ve just joined this group, and already feel as though it’s helped.
I lost my dad and my mum 11 and 10 years ago respectively. Stated to suffer horrendous panic attacks just after.
I still feel as if I’m grieving, but can’t understand why, after so long!
Dad had been poorly with Parkinson’s for a few years, but his death was still unexpected.
I then cared for mum until she passed. Her death was completely unexpected! She was diabetic and over a very hot weekend had become dehydrated, so I thought. She was admitted to hospital and I was told she had kidney cancer which had spread to her lungs. A complete shock to her and me, I had taken her to every doctor appointment for at least 5 years and this had never even been spoken of.
She passed 6 days later.
I’m ashamed to say I still cannot cope with my losses. I’ve had counselling but don’t know what else I can do .
So sorry. I find everyone on here is suffering from really bad grief, guilt, not being able to cope. I wish I had the answers as I am still not coping with the loss of my mum. All I can say is take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself and people on here are amazing and help so much. Sending love and hugs
