My wonderful mum died 18 months ago after a 3 year battle. She was so brave but the last 6 weeks were the stuff of nightmares
The hospital made countless mistakes including not telling me she had covid despite me visiting her every day for hours
When she died on a Friday night it took a so called doctor 7 hours to turn up. He was obnoxious.
The stress of mum's illness led to me developing epilepsy which has put me in hospital numerous times.
Since then I've been struggling every day to cope. I bury myself in work seven days a week as a distraction but it's not helped and left me burnt out.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore
Have u tried seeing ur GP for counselling? Or if u have any family members to talk too? My mum passed away last Wednesday and we're all still in shock big hugs
