I'm really sorry to read what has happened between you and your brother RSxo and for how difficult things have been for you and your siblings since your mum passed away.

I can see you've received some really good advice and I just want to echo what RoseStarBlue and LauraRose85 have said about reaching out for support. Coping with grief is so tough, but there are so many people who are on this journey as well, so you are not alone, and connecting with others who really understand what you are going through can be a massive source of strength and comfort during these difficult moments.

If you don't feel you can open up to your friends, maybe you can speak to your GP about how you are feeling and what has happened with your family? They will be able to help, and ensure you get the right support, especially if you're finding yourself questioning life and struggling to carry on. Samaritans can also help you work through such thoughts and feelings so if you do find yourself contending with these again, do be sure to give them a call on 116 123. Their phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you can talk to them at any time of day or night and they will listen, without judgement, to anything you want to say and will do all they can to support you. As RoseStarBlue and LauraRose85 have mentioned, you can seek out support and guidance through grief counselling and/or support groups as well.

The journey with grief can be long and some days will be much tougher than others, but we will be here to look after you and support you every step of the way.

Kind regards,
