Nearly a year

It's coming up to the first year anniversary that my dad passed. It's been a crazy year and I'm finding it especially overwhelming recently. I'm really struggling with low self esteem to the point where it's affecting my day to day life and I'm scared it is going to effect my relationship with my boyfriend. I'm so used to my dad being my biggest fan, always cheering me on and telling me how proud he is of me and to suddenly no longer have that is really hitting me. Does anyone have any advice on how to cope in this scary unpredicatable world without your best friend there by your side? 
 

thank you x

  • Hello Pops22,

    I'd like to express my condolences and I'm sorry to hear how this has affected your relationship. There's no normal way of coping, but there is help available. 

    When you are comfortable, it's important to talk to your boyfriend and, other loved ones, about how you feeling. If you need any support with your loss, you can find some here.

    Thinking of you at this difficult time,
