Hi there, we are all like you, struggling with the grief we feel. My GP is so supportive and has prescribed antidepressants, which I was against as I thought they would make me dopey, and they have helped. She also looked into counselling and therapy available in my area which I will make full use of after new year. It is a living nightmare, unfortunately loving our child so much means grief is as strong. I have no answers, I’m just winging it at the moment.
@Paulined9 im so sorry for your loss. There are no answers to this grief. I’m 3 years in now since losing my son.
The only advice I can give is, take it hour by hour, day by day and so on.
I have also kept a journal, it’s a way of getting thoughts out of your head rather than speak them, it has really helped me. I’ve tried counselling, Cruse really helped me for a while.
Take care of yourself x
