Hi septsadness,

I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your mum recently and your dad not so long ago either. It is so hard to lose both parents and the feelings of being without them are awful.

I have also lost both parents and I feel completely lost. My mum died 20 weeks ago of a catastrophic brain hemorrhage and my dad died 21 years ago of a heart attack but he had suffered with non lymphoma for a long time prior to this.

I am grieving for my mum so much and finding life very difficult. I do have a loving partner and 12 year old daughter but still manage to feel very alone.

I had been seeing light at the end of the tunnel a couple of weeks ago, then the deluge of xmas decorations in shops and adverts began and I'm so down again. I dont know how I'm going to get through the next 7 weeks. 

Do you have any siblings that you can lean on? What about partner/friends that can support you? I've had 4 sessions of counselling but it hasnt helped me at all. I'm not going to any xmas drinks and I will be spending a quiet one indoors. Im just hoping to wake up and find that it's the 2nd jan......
