I am sorry for you loss. My Mum passed away earlier this week and I am going to say to you what I told my own children. Whatever you feel is OK, you can feel every emotion under the sun and that is OK. It is good that you are reaching out, but as you are having panic attacks it may be a good idea to talk to your gp as they may be able to offer medication to help with the tidal wave of grief you are feeling right now. They may also be able to offer someone to talk to. The act of talking is great as a way to process grief, it makes your brain try to organise what it is processing.
But right now just know what your are feeling is OK, grief is both a mental and physical trauma and it takes time to work it.

Thank you so so much for replying back it honestly means so much to me . I’m so sorry for your loss ! Why is life so cruel ? How are you doing ? I’m going to definitely see a doctor I’ve still so much to prepare for we are still waiting to see what has properly happened to him and the funeral I don’t know if I can take all that too just hurts so so much can’t stop asking my self why ? Why him ?

So sorry to hear of your sad losses Zoe and Olgapol and Halmama my heart goes out to you all
I am struggling with the loss of my dear Dad just over three months ago, but at least he lived to a good age. I struggle with looking forward to a new year without him in it. It is certainly a journey on which I wish I wasn’t travelling but I am trying to take it one day at a time and trying to accept that things may feel better in time and not lose hope. There are some days a bit better and within each day there can be waves of grief which overwhelm me. I was in tears in the supermarket when a particular song was played, but felt a bit better out in the fresh air.
I am so glad to have this lovely supportive community
