What do I do?

Hi everyone, on Saturday night I lost my Wonderful aunt to ovarian cancer after being diagnosed 2 weeks ago and the funeral was on Wednesday. It's all happening so fast I am struggling to cope. She was so much more than just an aunt, she was a best friend too, we were raised with her kids as her and my mum were extremely close she was more like a second mother. To top it all off we were only allowed 15 people at the funeral and had to adhere to social distancing due to the Corona virus so I couldn't even hug and comfort any one or be comforted, bar my amazing partner I have been totally alone. Does anyone have any advice on when this will get better? I am crying all the time and I miss her so much already it physically hurts. I have some comfort in the fact that I got to say goodbye, we held hands and she said I love you, I realise how lucky I am to have had that opportunity and she did not suffer for very long but I'm just so, so sad and I feel like nobody understands.

  • Hello rayday wellcome to the site no one wants to be on but glad we are. Ime so sorry loosing your aunty so quick it leaves us lost and ive lost all mine mum dad and my partner she just under two years now dont worry your grieving even i dont know how you feel as griefs such a personal thing you loved your aunty in your own personal way as i did mine but i can empathise with you and you have my deepest sympathys .but i can tell you this the pain does dwindle how long it lasts is how you are . Its It early for you it takes a long time and we go through stages shock numbness anger you name it sometimes all at once myself i dont think we realy die our bodys may wear out but the energy that makes it work our souls if you want to call it that is there till the end of time some scoff at that but we all know energy is in us around us we cant see it but all know its ihere sometimes you can feel it shes probably around you now so make her proud eh go out and have a great life when you come to terms with this the sun will shine again one day we will all be together with our loved ones but not just yet eh you have some living to do . You might try some counciling its not a madgic bullet but everything you do exercise walks all help a bit . Just take it easy for the moment cry a good blubs helps we all get emotionaly exhausted for a while but it comes back then you start to feel better just one day at a time you will be ok .paul
