Title: New to group
Post by: Debbie1980 on July 03, 2017, 01:44:25 PM

Hi all.  I lost my dad December 2016 and up until a couple of weeks ago I was doing fine then a disagreement in work and father's Day coming up I started to feel horrible.  My doctor increased my medication however last night I woke at 2.15am and haven't slept since then.  I have spoken with my GP and he has prescribed more meds.  I am getting counselling through work and have also been referred to CRUSE bereavement but they have a waiting list.  Just feel empty today and lost xx

Hi Debbie.

First may I say how sorry I am you have had to join us for the sad loss of your dad we know that hurts big time.

I do hope you find comforting words from others who have also been through how your feeling now and can support you through this tough time you are having right now.

Sending a hug. It feels like such a slow journey, which can be a rollercoaster but it will get easier. Concentrate on baby steps and be gentle with yourself.  :hearts: xx

Hi Debbie. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father.

Many of us experience a period of numbness following the death of somebody close and it takes a while for the grieving to reality of everything to kick in. It sounds like this has happened with you and the numbness is now wearing off. I hope the counselling you are getting helps you.

Wishing you strength.  :hug:
