I lost my mam in September. I keep having nightmares, not consistently every night, but quite frequently. The last one being two nights ago and I’ve not been the same since. This was the worst one I’ve had so far.
I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to share as people may find it difficult hire distressing but on the other hand I’m aware it could be helpful to anyone experiencing similar.
I did go through an initial period of flashbacks - when I closed my eyes all I could see was her lying there after she had just passed. It wasn’t even like it was a traumatic death. We had know for several weeks that it was approaching and as far as deaths go, I’d rate it as quite perfect. The most trauma I was experiencing was from my sisters who were constantly criticising me, complaining to me and about me, challenging everything I was relating to them from professionals as though the information I was passing on was of my own opinion etc. Im wondering how normal and how common this is as my sisters think I need psychiatric care and medication. I think I’m just struggling with my grief

Very common for me after my husband’s pass. I am very sorry for this happening to you. It did get better for me but it took awhile.
I feel for you I lost my sister four years ago on the fourth of march and I was the one who found her I still she her in my sleep and my family told me to seek help which I did now I have medication but she is still there laying on the sofa still dressed so now it comes around again I have no idea what to do or who to talk to about it all
