I'm trying to cope with loss of my sister and best friend.She had breast cancer diagnosed in 2016.I don't think I'll ever come to terms with losing her.Is anyone else feeling the same about a loss?
I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling with the loss of your sister. I think lots of members here will be able to understand some of the thoughts and feelings that you've been experiencing and I'm sure that some would say that they never truly come to terms with loosing their loved one but find a way to live with their new normal. Hopefully someone will post to share their experiences and support with you.
I can see from your other post that she only passed away in February so I'm not sure if you've had any professional support because of the current coronavirus situation. I'd suggest getting in touch with Cruse who offer a number of bereavement support services that you may find helpful.
It's still very early days in your journey with grief so do be kind to yourself. There is no time frame for how you should move forwards but you may find it helpful to have a look at this page on our website about coping with grief.
i titally understand your pain, I lost my amazing, warrior, best friend mum in February this year to myeloma, she had fought so hard for over 5 years but her body gave up, she herself didn't. It's such a lonely place to be in, I think about her constantly, have dreamt about her and long to see her again, to hug her and have her tell me it will all be ok. For me, it doesn't get easier. I had some telephone grief counselling which was then paused due to the pandemic and I've heard nothing since. I have a husband who was initially very supportive, a young toddler son who is oblivious and a few close friends but still feel very isolated with my grief. My mum was my rock and my back bone and I knew she was poorly but she deteriorated so quickly, I think I still can't comprehend that she's not here.
sending you a hug and hoping you are doing a bit better now as I know how tough it is X
Thanks so much for your post.I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can share in how you are feeling as I am going through similar pain. I too wish I could see my sister again and I have dreamt of her.
It's good that you have some close friends. Of course your little toddler can't understand but you will have his smiles and affection. I'm on my own my sister was my only family and I have no close friends. So writing to others like yourself in a similar situation to mine is a means of contact and sharing.
I heard someone say that you never get over a loss you only try to get through it. In this we are not alone as we remember and empathize with each other.
