Having a moan..........again

[Tracy68]

Hi guys
Sorry I've come on to moan again. Just feel this is the best way to deal with things. Not having a good day today but i do know why. Its my Nan's funeral tomorrow so I guess i've got that going round in my head and i'm doing the guilty bit at the moment. You know "wish i had gone to see her more" probably the normal stuff when someone dies. Also last night found out that my partner isn't come back till about the 22nd April, his work up in Lancashire is carrying on a bit longer than what we thought. And we're getting married end of may so i've been left with organising things and i'm stressing. Woke with aches and pains and feeling like i couldn't breathe properly, went for a walk and i've calmed down a bit now. Sorry about having a moan, but being able to write it down does kinda help.
Take care

Hi Tracy,

Will be thinking of you tomorrow...

Everyone would be feeling emotional and stressed with all those events coming up.

Look after yourself properly sleep - food- water- socializing, exercise and relaxation are all vitally important.

Guilt is the emotion we use to beat ourselves up with - it's totally self imposed and you don't need it.....

Most times ( big generalisation - sorry) when we make ourselves feel guilty - if we had that exact same time again, with the exact same circumstances but without the benefit of hindsight we'd do exactly the same again..

You vent as much as you like

hello Tracy,

Best of luck for tomorrow. I'm sure it will be very difficult for you but you will pull through. We all have regrets after people die - don't let yourself get too down about it.

I think I can understand where you are coming from, Tracey.

Because my parents split when I was young, I went without seeing my aunts for decades and felt really awkward about it.

In that time, some had died, but eventually caught up with one in November and it was a big relief, and I was not stressed that day at all.

How are you feeling about making the funeral tomorrow? I find vital appointments and events such as this very stressful, as I know I'm prone to have an anxiety attack and get afraid I can't make it.

Its really important to vent at this time. Get all the support you can and take care.

Hi Ray
Right now i have to say i don't know how i'm feeling about it. I will make it tho, I have to you know, to say goodbye. But to be honest i'm not sure how i'll cope...you see this is the 4th death in as many months, in fact i lost 3 friends within two weeks last year and even tho i cried etc etc i don't think i really truly grieved for any of them, maybe i shut things out to a certain extent and i'm worrying that tomorrow everything might come to a head. Does that make sense at all? Actually today is turning out to be really naff. For some reason all i'm doing is thinking about "everything" thats happened to me over the last years and don't know why. Ok maybe i'm just having one of those "you're just feeling sorry for yourself Tracy" moments lol.
Sorry for rabbling on

Tracy,

I am so sorry for all your losses. Especially losing those friends, it must have seemed that your world had just fallen to bits.

Did you ever take counselling for that, and do you think it would help now?

Tracy,

Sorry to hear about what you are going through at present. It all seems to come at once?

Deaths & funerals are always sad, & often guilty times, even for people who do not suffer with anxiety. You have lost a lot of 'close to you' people in a short time--& it kind of leaves one reeling.

I hope that tomorrow goes as well as can be expected & 'saying goodbye' helps you to move forward again.

Moan & vent as much as you need/want to!

Tracy,

we've never spoken, but i just wanted to say that i hope it all goes as well as can be expected tomorrow.
take care,

ps i don't think you should apologise for 'coming on to moan again' - i reckon that venting your feelings is a good idea. "better out than in" and all that…

[Tracy68]

Thank you ALL so much for your kind words. I'm still feeling unsure about how it will all go but I'm hoping that after tomorrow i can start to concentrate on the future again.

Ray - No i never had counselling, just never had time and also (without going into more of my problems) I have got a couple of very personal issues that happened to me when i was younger and even tho i haven't forgotten, i don't think i want them all bought up again.

Thank you all once again.
Take care
Tracy
