    Hi there.. Losing a parent is so hard. I lost my Dad 12 years ago and I still miss him... Have you had any grief counselling? If you are in the UK I can recommend CRUSE massively. They helped my Mum and a close friend after the death of his Dad.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I have good people around me but five months on I feel like I shouldn't still be boring on about it. I will find out about CRuze, thank you. I referred myself to the NHS talking therapies at the time and the waiting list was six months, so hoping to hear soon. And my husband is particularly rubbish at this kind of thing. In fact the person I most need is my Mum, of course. She was my emotional support so I feel cut adrift. It is lovely to know you are there.

    Hi Loise, my dad 25 years ago and mum 17 years ago and I still miss them both. I should definitely contact CRUSE as I believe they are very good at helping you deal with bereavement.

    I’m so sorry, hunni. There’s no time limit on grief, especially when you were so close - you’re not boring on. Big hugs
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Absolutely agree, you aren't "boring" you are "trying to process" they are very different.. Grief doesn't come with a timeframe - I wish it did, but it does change over time.
