Hello @Marianne1968 ,

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 are feeling overwhelmed and unable to process your grief. I’m so sorry to hear about all your losses. 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. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.

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 and know that you are not alone.

Take care,

Alex

I feel for you & wonder how we mabage to go on with day to day things. I lost my husband dec 2023 and was just about accepting that, but now just this xmas i also lost my Son. I ask myself, why am i not a crumpled heap on the floor, my only answer is " i still have to live, we only get this one life" but adjusting to this new life without them is the hardest & i just hope i make it thro & stay sane. Take care, one day at a time

I too am struggling with two losses within a few weeks,my mum and brother,while both were very ill it was still a shock and slightly unexpected.
It’s just too much to deal with,

I had hypnotherapy months after loosing my husband, who passed away December 2023. I opened up much more than i had to any of my family & friends. He listened & also did lots of affirmation with me & helped me to close down a lot of the guilt feelings, which im told is such a common feeling when grieving for a loved one. I finished the therapy in november & i felt a lot ‘better’, still very, very sad & lonely, but able to cope! But then the worst day of my life happened just a year later in December 2024 when my Son passed away suddenley. Because the therapy helped so much last time ive decided to try opening up about my feelings sooner after loosing my Son, instead of bottling things up. Im hoping by talking this time to others in similar situations will help. I hope it will help you too.Take care
