Hi, I'm new to the the forum.
I lost my Dad earlier this year. I have really been struggling recently as this time last year he was so poorly, everything is a reminder. I feel so alone with my grief.
I tried to reach out to my sibling who just told me they feel fine and have accepted the death and just don't think about it (apparently its that easy hey!)
I can't speak to my Mum as she's having a hard enough time, if anything it's adding to my stress that I now feel responsible for making sure she's always OK. I don't know how to stop feeling guilty if I don't invite her to everything I do with my family (I'm married with one child and pregnant again now) I don't want her to be alone but also I have my own young family and I want to enjoy that without feeling guilt.
Finally my friends all have young children and although they text to say hope you're OK or text if you need anything, when i actually ask for some of their time to meet up in person nothing ever comes of it and I instead get bombarded with texts about their sleepless nights and daily struggles of having a young family.
I'm not expecting everyone to stop everything for me but I'm also tired of trying to talk about my grief over a text to a friend and quite upset that no one has taken me up on meeting up. Am I being ridiculous? I feel like I'm now at the point I don't want to talk to anyone about anything because what's the point in just replying to a text that doesn't make me feel any better and just feels draining repeating myself.
Thanks if you got this far x
