Hi my mum died 2 years ago. I have not delt with this loss very well. I keep everything locked inside. I have an autistic son who gets upset when I speak about mum. And I have just found out my dad has terminal cancer
Hello @Zoe1980 ,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you feel like you have not dealt with the loss of your mum well. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum and now the news of your Dad’s diagnosis. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that might be helpful.
