We lost our 36 year old daughter 10 weeks ago. You sound much like me, some days I think I'm doing ok then others, anything can set me off and once I've started having a cry, I seem unable to stop. Our daughter told us we weren't to mope!! I try therefore my best to carry on but then feel guilty if I seem happy. Guess this must be normal? It seems we gave to just keep going each day in the hope it will slowly become easier.
Hi we lost our Mum 2 weeks ago to pancreatic cancer, thought I was doing ok at first, but everything was so quick only 4 months from diagosis to her passing, went back to work after a week as i thought it best to keep busy but the crying just wont stop, I cannot control when it is going to start and i cant stop it when it does, I just miss her so much and cannot imagine spending the rest of my life without her. Doctors put me through for counselling but ultimately no one can do the one thing i need them to and thats bring her back, does it ever get any easier?
