Week 4 and in a mess

I feel that I am in a worse place than I was 2 weeks ago.

My mum died 4 weeks ago, my uncle died 14 weeks ago and my auntie died 16 months ago. Family are calling, and just offloading. I feel it is better to have no one than be everyone’s dumping ground.

We shared our home and I have been trying to clear her spaces, but it really hurts.

Just needed to vent.

Hello @Nifster,

Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum, uncle and auntie. It sounds like you’ve had to experience a lot of loss in a short space of time, and I can imagine how painful this must be for you, especially as you’ve been trying to clear your mum’s things and have those constant reminders. Many people on the community have experienced multiple losses, and will be able to relate. I hope it’s been helpful to vent.

I’m sure others will be along to offer their support, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been heard and you are not alone.

Take good care,

Harriet

Awh reading these is absolutely heartbreaking, I lost my dad 2 weeks ago, the following week my mum had internal bleeding and was hospitalised, and my brother is an alcoholic. I do have an amazing husband, children and nephews but this overwhelming feeling of grief is crippling me. We have his funeral next week and I need to iron my dad’s suit, I can still smell him all over it although it has been washed . I cannot bare to touch it without bawling.

Hi Alison. I am so sorry for you loss. The pain does feel unbearable at times, but you will get through.

Sending you a virtual hug. Grief is the price we pay for love. Take each day slowly, where you can and be kind to yourself .

Kind to yourself… I must remember that… I feel that nobody has mercy on me, so it’s so hard to think of myself and find some time to be kind to myself… I’ve got a message from a friend, if I can call her like this. who let me know today that I should finally move with my life…

Thank you. Yes I’m trying to do all the advised steps and each one seems to hurt that little bit more :disappointed_face:

It truly hurts, I am still struggling. But take it day by day, or hour by hour.
