After losing my brother to lymphoma when I was 17, my mum to ovarian cancer when I was 25 and now my dad to prostate cancer two months ago, I have now lost all my immediate family at 50. I haven't got any children which I am now regretting as well as all that combined grief and feeling very alone.
My partner has only lost grandparents & although they were very close it is not the same. He doesn't understand and doesn't know what to do, he gets frustrated, impatient & insecure because I have lost interest in most things including him, but his impatience makes it even worse and makes me guilty and angry which I could really do without.
I have seen GP today and rung Cruse to start counseling but I don't think they are doing face to face which works best for me but I know it's first steps and early days, just really struggling & signed off work
