I'm here as I'm struggling and am becoming more detached as new challenges face me. In January last year, after a long time of trying my husband and I found out we were pregnant. In the same week my dad was diagnosed with cancer. He passed away after a bad infection following chemo in June,my baby (first grand child) was born in September. All dad ever wanted was to be a grandad. I stayed strong and positive through my pregnancy and had to stay healthy in body and mind for the sake of my baby. I've now realised I've never accepted my dad going, I still talk about him as if he is here. I've just started bereavement counselling and this is something the counsellor noticed immediately. And this week, we have found my father in law has cancer and are awaiting further news but things don't look particularly good. I am struggling to cope and am feeling very lost and hopeless. I shut down emotionally and all these feelings are now overwhelming me. Does anyone have any advice on coping with all of this please,I'm feeling very desperate.
