Recent Loss

[sadlostangel]

I am grieving the recent loss of my amazing nan, who was almost like a mother to me. I can’t cope with the loss i’m just sleeping all day and night and not getting out of bed. I feel so alone and i have no support system around me

Losing my nan 10 yrs ago

I lost my nan 10 yrs ago she was like a mum to me I’ve not cried when she passed and I still haven’t cried to this day everyone I know is expecting me to have a massive breakdown when it finally hits me I go to the grave everyday but it still hasn’t hit me that she’s gone will it ever hit me that she’s gone or will I always be feeling numb and not believing that she’s gone
