Is anyone awake ?

Rebecca94

Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if anyone is awake ? I can’t sleep. Today has been a hard day and I’m very emotional. I just can’t cope with the fact that my father is no longer here. I’m constantly trying to remember and resight memories- to make sure I don’t forget anything . I’m looking for things that my father have bought me over the years, and having breakdowns when I can’t find them. Tonight just before going to bed.. I remembered when I went on the bullet train from huzhou to nanjing ( China) and I can’t find the ticket - I always kept things like that . And I’m sure I put it in my passport folder but I can’t find it and now I’m worried and overthinking everything. 

 

Life is soo cruel. I just want my daddy here.

    I feel the same way as both of you, I lost my Mum on Tuesday 20th August. I feel like I am absolutely fine sometimes and then today I have cried almost constantly, screaming, shouting, begging her to come back, talking to her when no one else is around.

    Lexy, I can't imagine being a carer for 15 years, it must be incredibly strange now to not be in that position anymore. Were you getting any support as a carer?

    Rebecca, I know everyone's grief is competely separate but the stages we go through are shocking aren't they, it hits me like a wave constantly.

    Sorry for the late reply. I had very little to no help looking after mum. I started looking after her at 21, am now 36. My entire life has pretty much been on pause for 15 years, and its making losing her even harder. I do find comfort in knowing am not the only one feeling like I do, I dread going to bed because I know I have to repeat this nightmare over again.
