This past year I've lost both my parents to bowel cancer within a very short space of time. On the outside to work colleagues, my partner and family I'm functioning, but inside I'm screaming - I really can't believe how much I'm missing my mum and dad. In my late 40's I'm experiencing panic attacks and anxiety that I've never experienced before. I wondered if anyone else had experienced these 'symptoms' and whether anyone has any coping mechanisms that have helped through this just awful time.

Thanks so much.
