Anxiety after losing a loved one

Susara

My mum passed away just over a month ago. I'm starting to get anxious after every small realisation I get. I'm very worried for my future, when my grandfather passed I had several panic attacks. But losing my mum, the person I was closest to out of everyone, is a completely different kind of pain. I don't know how I will cope. Has anyone got any advice on how to ease anxiety after death of a loved one?

    Hello

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum. I know exactly how you're feeling, my mum passed away 4th August. 

    I'm really anxious and depressed. I don't see the point in anything anymore and the future terrifies me, I don't see how there can be a future without my mum. She was my best friend. 

    I wish I could say something to make it better for both of us xxx

    Hello,

    thanks for your reply. I'm so sorry to hear you are going through the same thing, it is honestly devastating. I feel exactly how you do. The only thing I can hold on to is that many say it'll get easier over time. <3 x
