Grieving for my nana, is anyone else going through this?

Hi everyone, my Nana passed away peacefully on the 2nd May 2020 after a long battle with Bone Cancer, i was with her for the final 5 days of her life and was with her when she passed, my nana was a huge part of my life, not only was she my nana she was my mum, my dad, my best friend all rolled into one. Shortly after her passing my business became very succesful and i got thrown into working crazy hours everyday and still do, i find myself constantly thinking about her and when i finally get a moment to myself i sit and watch any videos and look at any pictures of her and tears stream down my face, ive gained about 3 stone because i think i comfort eat, i feel like i havent grieved properly because i threw myself into work and havent had any time to myself to grieve properly. I still feel as numb as i did when she passed away and often find myself wishing for her to come back. The pain is unbearable, if anyone else is going through this it would be nice to talk to somebody.

  • Hi Lauraw23,

    I am just so, so, so sorry for your loss. Losing your closest loved ones is just the worst. I lost my beloved Nanny a week yesterday to ovarian cancer. She battled it for 4 years and the end came so fast. The last month she was in hospital so much and it was so traumatic not knowing what was happening and learning it was terminal. Mum and I did everything for her and lived with her also. I am so desperately lost with the thought of not having her with me in my life. She was our everything. Please know you are not alone and I would love to chat more to you. I would definitely suggest reaching out to Cruse or else your GP who can navigate you through the right channels to a counsellor. I myself am in the process of doing this currently. Cancer is such a cruel disease and takes a bit of your beloved away each day, and it truly leaves an ache in your soul nobody can understand unless they've experienced it firsthand. I honestly feel numb to my core with my loss, it's just a terrible thing to have to endure isn't it.

    Sending lots of love to you and I hope you'll be in touch xx
