Suddenly Sad

Hi,

 

My Mam died just over 4 years ago from endometrial cancer after a fairly short period of illness. She was diagnosed in the November, had an operation over the Christmas then died the following June, four weeks after being diagnosed as terminal.

 

I was, of course, sad at the time but I didn't cry forever and ever like I expected to which I presumed was because we had some time to come to terms with her prognosis. Over the past couple of months, I have been feeling sad a lot of the time and I have been missing my Mam a lot more than I have before. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this? The feelings just feel like they have come out of nowhere.

 

Thanks,

  • Hi. Sorry you are feeling sad. I think death affects us all different. I lost my husband suddenly at the start of this year. I am up and down. However I continue to feel sad and at times feel hard to move on. I think when I reflect on my situation the periods of sadness are a bit fewer and I'm less angry. But who knows this could change again what I'm saying is bereavement if hard especially if the person you lived was very important to you. Get support from bereavement counselling they will help you deal with you situation. Warmest wishes to you.
