I'm so sorry to hear this thebeatles2008.

Sadly many of our members have had some rather similar experiences during their times of need so you are not alone and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer you their support and offer some tips and advice on how to cope during this very tough time.

I'm not sure if this is something you have looked in to, but if you're not seeking the solace and comfort you were hoping for from those around you, you could try accessing bereavement support groups in your local area.

You can also seek out support from bereavement charities such Cruse and Sue Ryder, the latter of which has an online community just like ours where you can connect with others who have also experienced the loss of a loved one and will truly know what you are going through.

We're thinking of you thebeatles2008 and sending all our strength and support your way.

Kind regards,
