Physical pain of grief

Hi. I’ve just lost my dad too.A few weeks after diagnosis.  Also wasn’t able to have a funeral. I am finding things so hard. Missing him so much and not having family , friends or even work colleagues Around makes it all harder. 
the physical pain shocked me too. I feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach all the time and hard to breathe at times .  It’s been a couple of months for me (although it feels like yesterday- the months seem to be passing me by)and the physical pain is still there. I’m guessing it’s some sort of panic attack. Hope your doing ok x 

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.  It is very early days for you and you're bound to be very up and down.

I lost my 36 year old daughter 8months ago to melanoma.  In the first weeks I had proper physical pains in my chest.  It went on for weeks until one day I actually noticed it had stopped.  I could feel and hear my heart beating in my throat, chest and tummy, it was awful.

I think these things along with the dreadful emotional turmoil are  each person's way of dealing with grief.

My other daughter who of course is heartbroken losing her sister seems to have developed these symptoms in the last couple of weeks and is finding it very worrying and upsetting.

It seems grief affects us all in different ways at different times and I think we have to just carry on, day at a time and hope we get to see brighter days ultimately.

I’ve had these pains too the past two weeks since my best friend passed away and the funeral was on Monday which I went to.

My chest hurts and I feel sick too when I think of her or life without her x

Sorry about your Dad

sad times , I’ve had these chest pains. Since my best mate passed away two weeks ago it’s been so  bad and sometimes if it’s not that I feel so weak since the funeral like I’m going to pass out if I don’t sit down .

ive been sleeping lots and not eating then eating binging and staying up all night then go to sleep for hours and hours and then the chest pains start again and headaches when I wake up and a dread in my tummy.

the funeral didn’t bring me closure at all I feel so empty and have a hollow inside me xx

Hi there

I have just joined the group and read posts about losing someone close and feeling an actual physical loss/pain 

I told a friend this week about losing my sister/best friend to cancer, only 2 weeks from diagnosis. After I had told her I found myself grasping for breath, she said this is like internal crying and it needs to come out

What do I do/who do I talk to, when everyone around me, is reeling from my sisters sudden death?
