I’m sorry to hear that you are facing this difficult time. I lost my dad suddenly in 2014 and my mum passed away in 2020 following a battle with dementia. My close aunt died in July then my brother passed away in September, after fighting cancer. I hope that this shared experience with you lets you know that I understand how you are feeling. Grief is definitely a powerful and devastating emotion. I think that it’s important to go through the process so that your heart can catch up with working through your losses. Crying and feeling low are inevitable and show how much you loved your parents. It’s also important to recognise when you need help. Reaching out on this forum is a positive step and shows that you are strong (even if that’s hard for you to see right now). Many GPs are understanding and approachable. Don’t feel isolated. Keep connecting . I sometimes also put my feelings into chatGPT. Having an instant response and suggested positive steps gives me a focus and small things to work on.
