Hi,
My dad passed away in February and I have been doing my best to stay strong but recently when I am out socially I start crying for no reason and I am emberassed. I feel insecure and vulnerable and have lost confidence in myself. My mum died in 2021, it just feels like I don’t have that solid foundation in my life anymore.

Hello @PmcG,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad and your mum. It sounds as though things are very difficult at the moment and you are missing both of them.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. You might already be familiar with our other Online Bereavement Support services, but if not, you can find out more about our Online Counselling service, and our Grief Guide self-help tools by visiting the link.

Hi there, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mum in February and thats when I felt like my roots were no longer embedded anywhere. In October 2024 I lost dad and 2023 i lost my brother unexpectedly. We all grieve in different ways, sudden outbursts of grief is only to be expected I guess coz we are saddened by the passing of our loved ones. I feel your pain
Hi Soyel, Thanks very much for your kind words, and I am so sorry for your losses, that will.be so difficult.
I am so hard on myself, it is important not to suppress the emotions.
All the best to you

Hiya,
I also lost my dad unexpectedly in February. He was my rock and I’m at the stage of suddenly crying and not really knowing why. I also feel a cloud of grief comes over my head, like thick fog or sometimes a storm. When I feel like this I go for a walk and chat to him like we used to, telling him what I’m up to, and usually take a photo of where I am as if I’m showing him. This makes me feel a little bit closer to him when it seems he’s really far away.
