I have lost both parents within the space of 6 months. Mum sadly had dementia so I lost her over and over again until she finally passed away last August then dad became ill, we thought he was depressed, then when he was struggling to eat the gp said he had gastroenteritis, but this got worse and just 3 weeks after being told he had esophageal cancer with no treatment he passed away in March. In the middle of all this my partners dad passed away in January, also from cancer. Life is just so hard, I don’t feel I have anyone to talk to, I can’t always open up to my partner because he is struggling with his grief too. I honestly just don’t know what to do.

Hi Lillytee, I am sorry to hear about your suffering. I understand that it can be very difficult to overcome the loss of your parents as my dear wife had a lot of problems trying to come to terms with the loss of her mother. Have you thought about getting some therapy to be able to talk through your bereavement. It certainly helped my wife. It may be worth doing something of that nature with your partner if he is also going through something similar. Talking is always good.
There are bereavement groups. I have been going to one and it is useful.
Wishing you all the best
Tom
