In April of this year my Mum was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and died at home three weeks later. We nursed her through her last weeks with the help of district nurses and Marie Curie. It was the most painful experience of my life. Then 8 weeks later my elderly Dad took unwell and passed away due to a severe chest infection. My reason for making this post is to ask others if they can relate to my experience of grief. I have worked through these last few months and cried so much whilst trying to get through it. In the last few weeks my grief has intensified so much more and I feel it is actually getting harder as time goes on. I'm not sure whether the numbness and shock is wearing off and the enormity of my loss has just hit me. Having never went through anything like this before I suppose I'm just looking for reassurance that sometimes this awful thing gets worse before it gets easier. Thank you x
