Delayed Grief?

1. Hi there, in sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. Losing a parent is just.... No words. Congratulations on your pregnancy. My mum passed in April and I'm actually just going through a similar thing now. I too was busy and I'm not sure if I really took it in.

From what I've read there is no correct or incorrect way to grieve. And it seems like sometimes people are affected by the loss months sometime's years after. 

. I've taken time off work (even though the guilt is consuming me) because I just can't take on anymore, I'm at capacity, mentally. We don't hear enough that's it's ok to take time for ourselves, to put ourselves first.

I'm crying too, which is normal, although it is disconcerting that you can cry anywhere at any time. I'm trying not to fight it.

I'm going to do group counseling (cruse) and then one on one if needed. This might help you and give you more support. .

Hope this helped x

Hello there.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Great Auntie 7 months ago and we were extremely close, she raised my mum. We expected her passing and at the time I didn't cry until her funeral, even after that I felt quite numb. 

It's 7 months since we lost her and I feel like I'm experiencing what could be delayed grief too. I'm crying all the time, angry at cancer for taking her, I'm still expecting her to walk through the door, or see her passing my window (we only live 2 doors down from her and my great uncle), even though I know she's gone.

I think pregnancy naturally heightens our emotions and hormones (congratulations by the way) , I'm sure adding grief on top of that is incredibly difficult for you, I completely understand how your feeling right now and can assure you, your not the only one.
