My little brother was murdered very traumatically in July and my 12 year marriage ended 3 months later. I am feeling a lot of loss right now and I am unsure how to navigate it. My house is up for sale so that will also be going soon and the dogs will be seperated. Little bit concerned that I’ll have a complete melt down soon but I’m holding it together.

Hello @DSS ,
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 unsure how to navigate the next steps in your life. I’m so sorry to hear about the traumatic loss of your brother and the loss of your 12 year marriage. 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.

Thank you for your kind words Alex, I really appreciate them. I’m not really sure what to say quite honestly. Things are very tough right now.
Again, thank you.
I can see you are really struggling with so much loss Do you have any family and friends to support you.Are you sleeping and eating ok . You should talk to someone and get some professional support You must look after yourself.Had a lot of loss myself it’s hard to cope with it all alone Thinking of you
