Hello 

I lost my amazing mum last year after being her carer throughout  more than 3 years of chemo and radiotherapy. The last few weeks were awful and I can't get seeing her die out of my head. I started studying as a distraction and passed my exams last week but now that has ended everything has come back and I can't stop crying.

Mum and dad were separated but were still in regular contact. He got remarried a few months after mum died and has moved on. He doesn't understand what mum and I went through every day and has started to lecture me almost daily. I can't cope with him anymore and am close to breaking contact altogether. I am sensitive by nature and am really starting to  struggle now 

  • Hi  

    That all sounds really difficult, though it sounded when you had the studying going on things were a bit easier. There is of course no right answer to grief and sometimes it can really hit when we are least able to accept it.

    Have you talked to your GP about how you feel? If it helps you it might be worth talking to either cruse bereavment care or the loss foundation as they can often provide support in this area.
