Life without pop

1 minute read time.

Hi everyone

I havent been on here in a while and to be honest i dont really know why, i think ive just been burying my head in the sand and trying my best to get on with life. Things have been very difficult and its taken me a while to get used to living my life without my pop and to be honest i havent been coping like i should have been and the whole grieving process has been harder than what i thought but im getting through it and after all its only been 10 weeks tommorow.

My care is now focused on nan as although ive always thought she was the strong one i didnt realise how much my pop did for her and losing him has had a massive impact on her. She turned 80 yesterday but didnt want any fuss so we just spent the day with her but im sure my pop will have been with us too. They would have been married 45 yr on friday so shes feeling low at the moment.

Im very lucky to have this site as its helped me through some very hard times so i would just like to say again a BIG thankyou

    Dear Nicola, birthdays and anniversaries are so hard, I do sympathise (just had the one year since my stepdad died so know exactly what you mean). Grieving is difficult, but you have got through the first 10 weeks, so well done. It will take as long as it needs to. Take your time - as people on here have said before, baby steps are OK. Take care of youself .
