My current housing is very close to where my mum and dad’s former home was before they passed. My dad passed away in that house and living so close is causing me a great deal of emotional pain. I do not go into that area unless I really have to I can’t even go to Asda anymore I have started going elsewhere. Because that is also a place that I just can’t cope with. And last week I had a hospital appointment which was challenging, to say the least. I had to go where I had been previously with my mum for her appointments sitting in the waiting room was a very unpleasant experience I was on my own and trying to get through it. I know this is a long post but things are really bad at the moment having noisy neighbours as well everything is just getting to me take care everyone Kate xxx
Hi @kate88,
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community 
I’m sure someone 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,
Alex
Dear Kate, I know how you are feeling. I cannot go to Lidl at Lakeside at the moment because that was the last store my beloved husband was visiting with me before he passed suddenly. I cannot avoid certain areas and always try to think of something else if I have to go to certain shops or the surgery etc. I am taking tablets and have an emergency tablet with me in case I start crying again. I am also on my own. Hugs from Anna
after my father died, (I lived with my dear parents,) I took my mother to live elsewhere.
I made the wrong decision. to try and make up for it, I dream of buying that house back or getting one on their street.
but just driving back to my old neighborhood, makes me so forlorn. your feelings were interesting to me and I am so sorry for the terrible sadness it made you suffer.
p.s. I could not see me in their house alone so it was another reason I sold it. I feared I would go mad … ditto
