I lost my Mum 4 months ago, she was Dad’s carer, was seemingly fine, was then diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and died within a week. Since that point my Dad refused to go back to the house so my sister and I have been looking after him. 4 weeks ago he collapsed at my house and is now seriously ill in hospital. I’m so tired, I don’t feel like I’ve been able to grieve properly and now this - I don’t know how I’m going to cope with work over the next few weeks

I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. 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.
