Really struggling with the New Year, following my mother’s death in November. How’s everybody else coping?
Honestly, I’m not. My mum also died in November.
The best way to describe it is that i’m existing not living.
Somedays i dont have the will to do anything other than sleep. Other days i can look after myself better. I’m trying, but its rough.
Just trying to take it one day at a time at the moment.
Do you have anyone for support?
Hi there. Yes, I feel exactly the same. Just about making it through the days… You’re right… One day at a time is pretty much the only way… Even one hour at a time… I do have people in my life, but I’m pretty much alone in my grief journey, as they are in theirs. Hope things get less difficult for you soon.
I wish I had someone to lean on like people in my life that understand .but to me the fact is our parents are our grounding in life and I feel very very ungrounded despite trying to live each day and take care of me .I’m a big girl .I just want my mum and dad back
I’m so sorry that you’re having to deal with this. No matter what age we are, losing our parents is really really awful.
