Delayed grief

Hello, 

I'm hoping for some words of support. We lost my Dad August 2021 after a short battle with oesophageal cancer. We lost my Mum in September 2016 from central nervous system lymphoma. After Mum, I struggled terribly, ended up on antidepressants and spoke to a counsellor. After Dad, I got on with it. I didn't want the pain to come again. I bottled it away. Well, turns out you can't do that and the grief has now hit me - 16months later. I've finally realised that my Dad has gone. He's gone and I'm so so sad. It hurts so much. I'm frightened of having to go through this intense process again. I'm scared I won't get better.

    I lost my dad this time last year and we were incredibly close. I range from numbness to disbelief to sobbing.  The last two days I've not been able to stop crying.  
     

    Be kind to yourself and know that you have support on here. We all know how dreadful it feels.  Sometimes you just need people who have been through it and who totally understand x x
