Hey J.e.m., I'm really sorry for how difficult things have been since your mum passed away.

Coping with grief can be very tough. It can also be very overwhelming at times, and for long periods of time there can be more bad days than good, but you are not alone J.e.m as so many of our members have gone through this as well and will know exactly how you are feeling, and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer you their support and advice. 

I know you're seeing a therapist at the moment, but I'm not sure if that includes grief counselling. Some of our members have found this to be really useful when working through their grief and/or are struggling to cope with tricky situations so if this is something that you feel may help you at this time, do have a look at the support and services offered by Cruse and Sue Ryder, the latter of which has an online forum just like this one, where you can connect with others who are on a similar journey.

There will many more challenges along the way J.e.m, but I hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that we are here for you and sending all our support your way.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
