Why do I do it?

• Hi . Hope you are coping ok ? I went to the group yesterday but it was a bit difficult as the afternoon group didn’t take off so I’m now in the morning group . However I did speak to a councillor who’s been thro the same thing . I felt upset when I came out . She said the grief is what heals eventually . So gradually we learn to deal with it . However she did say I’m at a very early stage and  There’s no quick fix . She said go with the flow . If you want to cry , chat sleep then do it . She says I will greatly benefit from the group as they have  all been in the same situation so I’m looking forward to the group session in two weeks. So all in all so far ok . I will let you know how that goes xx 

So glad you got something out of it. 

I think I will just cry all through a session. Haven't found a group that works out day/time wise. But I'll keep looking.

Keep in touch xx

You Can call macmillan and also cruse . It’s still early days isn’t it . So so hard xxx 

Yes early days...... feels like yesterday and a years all at the same time xx

Yes I know . It’s awful . And no one realises unless they been through it sadly xxx 

Oh my such early days for you. This week was just a year since I lost my husband and best friend. It becomes different the pain subsides but the missing of them never goes away.

Am I coping a year on - yes and no. Some days feel like I could climb mountains others I just want to stay in bed.

I had counselling through work back in October which I don't think helped but I've just started private counselling and spent time seeking someone a bereavement specialist and I do think it's helped or I'm at the right time for the counselling.

It's tough but realising your not alone through online chats is so supportive. Everyone's life moves on but ours stands still and you only understand that once you've been there.

Thank you xx
