Scared of losing mum after sister died

Coping with bereavement
1

Hi there,

My older sister (38) passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last October. She had suffered with chronic illness but it was still a shock.

The past few years I’ve already been slightly worried about losing my mum (61), but I’m so much more fearful now.

She doesn’t have any big health issues, but losing my sister has made me hyper aware that my mum is my only immediate family left. I’m 27, but she’s still a huge support for me.

Has anyone else felt that fear of losing another loved one, and do you have any advice to share to help lessen the anxiety?

Hello @RSC1998,

I’m so sorry to hear about your sister. It’s completely understandable you’d be worried about your mum after such a huge loss.

Thank you for reaching out. I’m just giving your thread a gentle bump - I’m sure someone will have some advice to share.

Take care,
Seaneen
