I lost my brother in September and I feel numb.
it’s not changed , he was 31 years old and I feel I lost a leg . I didn’t cry at the funeral , I just haven’t cried.
until now. I’ve made so many mistakes the last few months and I feel my bereavement has clouded my judgement. I’m missing things and not paying attention. Has anyone else felt this is the way their bereavement is going ? No concentration , missing things and just no energy?
Yes, I've had it. I'm just trying to push on through it.
I called Cruse bereavement support about this and they said it's a common reaction and does get better over time.
I feel same, I lost my brother 19th June 2021…still feels unreal…we lost exactly 3 months after he was formally diagnosed & told he was expected to only live a few more weeks (meaning less than 4wee)…the turbulent roller coaster ride we have been on since then has been profound. Nothing is the same anymore. Every day feels empty & a struggle …
I lost my brother last night from pancreatic cancer. He was a wonderful brother, very caring. I've looked around and he is in almost everything. The phone I've chosen, films I watch, things we are passionate about and fighting against injustice.
I am abroad at present looking after my father who also has cancer. I feel really, really alone. Although so many people have reached out to me they are 4ooo miles away. I am here, with my father who seems to wake wanting to live, then by early evening he will not eat anything and snaps at me. I usually sit with him but I his snapping has made me cry so many times today. I just wish, I wasn't feeling the loss of brother so sharply, then I could cope better.
I’m so very sorry for your loss & very difficult situation that you are in. Prayers for you & your father & family. I can’t even imagine having two family members affected by cancer. I hope you are getting some help & support & not doing this alone. Big hug coming your way x
Shazi, thank you for my hug. Little things mean so much.
I lost my grandfather to cancer too so I imagine that you still wading through the treacle trying to live normally when your mind will not let you. I suppose everyone has told it get better...it does but it can take such an effort to drag your feet out so you can walk on solid ground.
Some days you might have to force yourself to do something ordinary or even fun...First few times you'll probably leave early because it does not feel right. But keep trying. For example putting a smile on your face (indoors), keep doing it for a few mins each day until it doesn't feel strange. Helped when my grandad went...going to do it now too.
Just the loneliness ...but you reaching out really meant a lot. Take care x x
I want to leave my job as it was so intense, not sure I can see the point in it all now. But not sure how I will cope financially.
I really hope you find something to do that brings you a little joy or hope. You've lost a big part of your life with the loss of your Brother. Can't fill the gap but...
Thank you for your kind words. Sending you love
I'm so so so sorry to hear this. My brother passed away after a 2 week diagnosis. It's just heartbreaking.
