Hello Mandy, Christmas is very hard and you are right about not being able to grieve at the right time and then it hits harder. You sound as though you have had a horrible time so please take time for yourself. Your dogs will help you through this and they are always there for you. I hope the new year brings happiness to you. Look after yourself. S xx

Hi @Mandy3,
I’m so sorry to hear about your husband and your dad. It sounds as though things are very tough at the moment and you are feeling overwhelmed.
However I’m glad that you’ve been able to share how you are feeling here and I hope that you find the community a good source of support. Everyone here has experienced the loss of a loved one and will understand some of what you are going through, especially at this time of year when many will be feeling similar to how you currently are feeling.
