People say will be there for me but few are,
Is there a future for me.
Hi @sherine15,
I’m so sorry for all the loss you’ve endured.
I’m just letting you know that I’ve moved your post to a topic of its own, rather than a reply to another thread, so that you can better get the support you need.
Take good care,
Seaneen
I’m so so sorry you are going through this, i lost my hubby suddenly to undiagnosed heart condition we were asleep in bed, that was September 21, then in November 22 my Dad passed away then 4 months later my Mum passed away. I was so close to my parents and hubby and I think it broke their heart when he passed. So i understand, i thought my parents would help me through the grief but they just caused me more. My brother whom I was also very close too and who was helping me look after our parents after my hubby passed as before that my hubby and I was looking after my parents. Was also diagnosed with terminal cancer. Although he’s still alive he hardly talks to me anymore. I have lots of times when I think I’m getting better and improving only to then have episodes of breaking down, i keep asking myself how will I cope, I can’t do this by myself as I hate being on my own but somehow I have survived nearly 5 years. I have no idea how and I still cry myself to sleep most nights, that’s when I can sleep. But you can get there eventually, we all can it just takes some of us longer than others and that’s absolutely fine. Try not to be to hard on yourself, take all the time you need, try not to do what I did and push anyone away believe me you need your friends the ones who stuck around. And talking on here really does help,so does reading how others in the same situation as ours cope also helps. If you need to talk just get in touch, i will.happily talk,listen whichever helps you best. Sorry I do rabbit on abit. Sending you big hugs x
I have just seen this post and feel such sadness for you ,it’s so much grief over a short period of time . I lost my mum and plunged into grief as we were very close and 9 month later without warning my husband died of a heart attack so it’s 10 weeks on from this further nightmare . There is also now another close relative been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Life’s bleak and dark so you must have had an awful time. You say you dont know how but you ate still here so keep doing whatever it is do to help you survive and one day I hope we manage to also thrive somehow. Good luck and keep who ever you can close.
I am so sorry for your loss , I have only just seen your post. I have also lost a lot of family members over the 5 years. I lost my sister in 2020, my nephew in2020, my niece in 2021 . My nephew & niece were brother and sister in their 40s . I have also lost 2 brother in laws who I was close to . And more recently 5 months ago I lost my husband. Life is very cruel and hard at times. I can understand how you must be feeling. It’s hard losing so many family members. Try to stay strong and positive not always easy I know. Look after yourself
