I found out that my sister had cancer in November, two weeks later she had died. It was a shock. She lived in the USA. There’s going to be a memorial for her at the end of this month. Unfortunately my brother and I can’t go.
I am feeling angry at the moment cos I am feeling unsupported by my husband. He has said that he is struggling with it and it has stirred up some un-resolved grief over his mother and father.
I am trying to support him especially because he does not usually show his feelings. But I really want to be looked after, cooked for and asked how I’m doing. We have both also been unwell with bad colds so neither of us has had any energy lately.
Also my daughter’s dog who we often looked after and I considered my second dog, died of cancer in June this year and I am still mourning him.
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
Sorry to hear about your sister and all the other things you have both been going through.
It is not that unusual for an events like you describe to stir up unresolved grief, I wonder if it might help both of you to perhaps talk to someone from cruse or the loss foundation.
