Hello - newbie here

[Trinity]

Hi!

Been invited here by the lovely Suzi. I am usually an upbeat person and have always looked at the glass as being half full but recent events have really knocked me for 6.

In October my auntie who I was really close died of breast cancer and just 10 weeks ago my lovely mum passed away. I am really struggling to cope and miss them both enormously - they were both a huge part in my life and they were really close as sisters, and maybe mum just didn't have the strength to continue without her.

People say time is a healer but at the moment, I am finding as time goes on that I am going to get worse and it is just more time that I have to live without my mum.

I have an appointment with Cruse on 13th August and I do think that this wil be something that will help and I just hate burdening my friends and family with my emotional outbursts.

Thank you for reading and looking forward to getting to know everyone.

:Hello2: & :welcomeblinkiegroup1:

I lost my uncle 18 months ago to 'C' . I think about him everyday and they say time is a great healer but sometimes I still expect to see him sitting in his favourite chair.

This is a fantastic group as I am sure Suzi has told you.

Looking forward to getting to know you better

Hello, I just wanted to say Cruse are fabulous, I wrote to them when I was a teenager and I was devastated by my Gran's death. I think I still have the letter now (although I may have been brave and thrown it away I'm not sure) and it can still reduce me to tears now as it was so caring and kind.

Telling you that time is a great healer, although true, isn't helpful as it hurts right now. As Suzi said just let it all out here it's a nice safe friendly place

[color=yellow]:Hello2:Trinity i'm Veggie and i'm new too.
I'm so sorry for your loss it must be very hard.
You have to go through the grieving process before time can start healing,i lost my mum-in-law a year ago,we were very close too,she was like a mum and friend all rolled into one i didn't think i would ever get over the huge pain and loss i felt and it,s only now that i'm starting to heal from the loss,there is no time limit but you will know when you are getting there when you are able to smile at your memories.
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*take care. ((((((big hugs))))) xx

Can only agree with everyone else about allowing yourself to grieve, talk as much as you wan there is allways someone around to listen here we all pop in and out through out the day/night to offer help, support, advice when needed or to pour out our own probs. No one will judge.
