I lost my dad to cancer 15 years ago and found my brother dead in his flat 5 years ago. All I had left was my mum and I lost her to cancer just before Christmas. I live alone and have 1 friend. I am not coping. I have a doctors appointment for this afternoon, I don’t even know how they can help, I can’t get out of my own head and feel pointless. I thought I was over the worst but it hit me like a sledgehammer 2 days ago and I think it was the sudden realisation that I am all alone. I’ve cried for 2 days solid. Is this normal?
Hi Dazey,
Firstly I’m sorry for your losses, I’m going through the same. I reached out (eventually) to professional help. I didn’t want to at first because I thought that would make me weak but it actually shows great strength.
Yes it is normal to have sudden bursts of emotion and basically it is good to do so better than bottling it up inside.
I’m here if you need a chat.
Take care
