Hi everyone.
So this is my 1st time posting - my best friend passed away on 5 March this year from AML and yesterday and I found out my younger sister has bowel cancer. We don't know what stage yet but thank god it hasn't spread to her lungs or stomach.
I don't know what to do or how to feel apart from being quite angry. I know I haven't dealt with my best friend's passing yet and this is bringing alot of blocked feelings to the surface...
Can anyone give me some advice please?
Hi Kelly fox. No wonder you feel angry,. I can only imagine all the other emotions that you are also experiencing. I m sure you will have messages from others on this forum who have, or are experiencing situations such as yours.Perhaps you could phone your GP and tell them how you are feeling and they can make some helpful referrals I just wanted to write to say that I hear you and am thinking of you.. We all have found so much comfort from reaching out to others here xx
Hi kelly
I’m so sorry for you loss,my friend passed away on the 22 nd May and I went through stages of denial guilt and sadness And now I’m just depressed
the funeral is on Monday and I’m just in another world.I spoke to cruise last week and they said it’s normal to go through these different emotions and there is no wrong or right way to grieve.
Be kind to yourself and trust in urself and have faith in the process. We will be okay at least they are not in pain now .
my friend came into my dream two nights ago and it was so vivid and seemed to real I was not upset when I woke up just feeling like a wow feeling and I was back in touch with my friend such a strange feeling but it wasn’t unpleasant.
i had the same with my grandma When she passed away too the dreams and conversations etc
and a feeling of being at peace though I miss her so Much ! It’s so hard ! Xx
