Losing a loved one

debbie1967

I lost a brother 4 years ago he was just 59
then I lost a sister 10 months ago she was just 55
im finding it so hard losing them and I was so close to my sister I just don’t know how to accept she’s gone

Hi @debbie1967 sorry for your losses, have you thought of grievance counselling? It might help. 
I know its hard to loose someone, I try focus on the good memories.

Hi and welcome to the community Sorry to hear of your grief you can talk to your gp.and discuss possible referrals 

I don't know any counselling to recommend but other members will be able to help I'm sure

Welcome to the community @debbie1967 Thank you for sharing that with us, as I can imagine talking about it might bring up some difficult feelings.

It's good to hear that you've considered accessing some counselling to help you work through your grief. It'd be worth speaking to your GP about what's happened, and how it's affected you. You could also contact Cruse, who offer a range of services. 

We're here to support you, so please do share more about how you've been feeling if you feel comfortable doing so. 

You'd also be welcome to share any happy memories you have of your brother and sister, but there's no pressure to of course.

Hello and welcome @debbie1967 and thank you for reaching out on the community and sharing how you're feeling. 

I'd like to echo everyone and say the community is here to support you and to listen. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, so if you feel you need help then don't hesitate to ask.

Let us know how you're doing from time to time if you're able to, and I hope looking into counselling, speaking to your GP, and visiting Cruse can help too
