Struggling 18 months after seeing mum die

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

Hi. I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I tried taking to my GP but he was very dismissive and told me just to get over it. Our family is very small now so there's no one close that I call out to. Mum and dad separated 30 years ago and he got remarried just months after mum's death

How insensitive can people be? Telling u to just get over ur Mum dying? There's no getting over it, as we know it stays with us daily and it's still just as raw today.  I have a small family too but find it really difficult to say or express how i feel and judge their emotions.  Do u have any friends?

Hi. Thanks for your message. I have a couple of close friends at work who's wives have had cancer. They are very understanding when I do feel able to talk which isn't often. 

Try and go for walks on ur days off? Do you have a MIND in ur area that u can make an appointment to c what help they can offer or a local bereavement charity/drop in centre?

I’m so sorry to read your sad story about your mum. My mum’s final weeks were also made of nightmares. I totally understand what you mean. If you can find someone sympathetic to talk this through with it will help a lot. Someone who will listen and not judge you. I know that’s hard to find. Even my own closer family members I feel are tired of me being so sad and crying all the time, which is how I have reacted. I send you big hugs and ask you to find that sympathetic person to talk to. Even if it is a professional counsellor. I think I may need it too.
