Is it true when they say time is a healer even with the loss of a parent?
Hello hanzafua,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community. I’m so sorry to hear about your parent. There’s no timeline for grief, and it’s ok to find you don’t follow a pattern. You may find you have good days and bad days, and the good days may become more frequent over time than the bad, or your grief may feel more like a rollercoaster with big ups and downs.
The community is here for you, however your grief feels. I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.
- Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
- Our Grief Coach text service, which sends you personalised text support via SMS
- Our free Online Bereavement Counselling which is held via video chat
- Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.
Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.
Take care,
Rhi
Hello
I know it is true but it does not feel true for a long while. How are you today?
