Hi everyone,
I lost my father nearly 7 months ago and quite unexpectedly to very aggressive metastasised cancer. I found myself coping well for a while but now find I am constantly disappointing by peoples lack of kindness in general. Colleagues, friends even my husband I keep waiting for them to do something 'extra' to show they care and understand I am struggling but still nothing. I understand I am a high performing individual (I ran the marathon, am successful at work, etc) but honestly if I knew someone who had a parent that died I would be doing everything in my power to make their life that little bit easier...but seems nobody else thinks like this? Am I alone? Are my expectations too high? Maybe we just think differently or are wired differently after the grief we have been through. I would love to hear more about how others have received good support from the people around them and how they achieve this. Thanks xx
