Lost my mum and my gran

I lost my grandma then a few days later i lost my mum. Its been nine months now and im still struggling

I cry at night which leads to being tired in the mornings but i manage to carry on working through the day but then cycle repeats itself.

I have noticed a change in myself. Im not as chirpy as i used to be and when i do have a laugh or a good day it makes the evenings even harder

Hello @benson-reay,

I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - thank you for having the courage to share this with us. I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma and your mum. Many of our members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one, so you’re among people who understand some of what you’re going through.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.

  • Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief

  • Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.

I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out if you feel able to, and know that you are not alone.

Take care,

Alex

I’m so sorry to hear this. The loss of one amazing loved one is difficult but two in such a short space of time must be almost too much to bear. Have to thought about any counselling or found anyone professional you might be able to talk to and try and make sense of how you’re feeling? Perhaps even your GP might be able to help and point you in the right direction? Sending love
