Hi Asters and to all those out there, suffering a loss of a loved one.i can definitely connect ,I lost my husband of 54 yrs to Mesothelioma.This cruel disease took away everything, we believed the treatment would give him some extra time to carry out his wishes,.it wasn’t to be ,I am struggling in so many ways emotionally, physically and drained.
I do believe this site is a help ,a good support , just to know we are not alone, we can say how or what we feel.We need not suffer in silence , we are hear to listen,talk and offer support.
I have connected to a local bereavement group,only been the once, initially I was scared , worried, didn’t know what to expect, but honestly I am glad I went, I am actually looking forward to going again,
the welcome,the support and comfort was beyond words, I know I am not alone.
But yes behind closed doors, I am a mess
struggling to go forward ,there are times when I just want to sleep, switch my phone off and just not be here, but having my granddaughter age 12 permanently living with gives me a purpose ,a focus , I have to go forward, for her and my own sanity.i am reading a book that was given to her by the counseling group,to help her understand, age appropriate, easy
reading .Tbh I have not yet finished reading it yet.
Yes I am still struggling but it has
helped me understand a bit about grief,my guilt, my feelings , anxiety ,which are all perfectly normal to feel.
Title is "You will be ok " .
I am truly sorry for your losses but we need to support and connect to each other x Thank you , apologies for long post xx
