For those of you grieving

I lost my Father just two weeks ago today. Its the first significant loss i've experienced and its awful to go through it. 

I didn't think i'd be going on here to support others but reading some of your stories really puts in perspective how bad some people are experiencing grief, to the point where I myself am forgetting that I am also griving. 

It goes to show that no matter how bad your loss is, someone else is right there with you to share the pain. I think it's important to support one another because right now, we're all on this journey and we dont know where it leads. 

We're all in the middle of the ocean on a ship that has lost its destination. We have no idea where we're going but were all in it together right now, right at this point as you read this in pain. Many have come before us and got through this storm, and many will be behind us to face the storm when we have passed it. 

We need each other so lets all do our part and keep checking back here daily for those who feel they cannot go on. I am doing my best to help someone who has lost all hope, i feel its my duty now.

Stay strong, hold tight.  Its rough - its really really rough, more than you can imagine, but you MUST hold on. We're going to do this. 'There is no cure for grief which time does not lessen and soften"

    I'm sure others who are on this journey will really appreciate seeing this and will be along when they can to offer their support to you as well.

  • Hi everyone 

     

    My wife was diagnosed with bowl cancer that had spread to her liver on April 29th 2020 and passed away on May 21st 2020 aged 34. We have a 5 year old Daughter and a 9 year old son. Unfortunately the A&E at our local hospital and our local doctors surgery both missed it first time around.

     

    She has been gone just over a month now. My Daughter is expressing her feelings through play; dolls,barbies etc and overall seems to be ok.My Son is very, very inquisitive and he's asking me a lot of questions I just don't have the answers to. After initially being very angry he's now sad and very down.

     

    In regards to myself, it was our 6 year wedding anniversary May 31st which was really tough and since aFathers day it seems to have really hit me, lots of day dreaming and tears.

     

     

    would like, if possible, to hear of people in a similar position; age, kids etc

     

    thank you
