I'm so very sorry for your awful, sudden loss Tracey.

My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you. It is perfectly understandabe that your anxiety and panic has come back with such a shock and bereavement as well.

I also think it is understandable to be terrified of losing someone close like your Mum in the aftermath of another close family members passing, as you are trying to take in and adjust to such a mega huge loss right now.

Just know that you are not alone and we are always here for you to talk to and support you through your anxiety and grief.

lots of hugs to you.xxx

Aww Tracy

I was so sorry to read that, and my heart goes out to you and you family at this difficult time.

Suppose all a person can really do is to take it one day at a time and just aim to get through one day at a time. Thoughts and feelings are bound to be all over the place, and it’s only natural to experience just about every emotion imaginable.

I remember when Dad died 8 years ago, and a very dear friend earlier this year, I was living in a sort of daze for a good month to six weeks afterwards. Nothing seemed real and it was as if I was detached from life and watching it all happen. I think the mind does that when it gets overwhelmed. Then as time passes and it thinks we can cope with some of it, so a sense of reality starts to return.

It’s understandable to be having lots of morbid thoughts at a time like this, but nothing’s gonna happen to you, or your mum. Try and just be there for each other, and for Little Boy.

Take care,
Nigel

Oh Im so terribly sorry for the loss of your dad, ny thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family at this awful time. x
My mum died due to a bodged operation last year, and I thought Id never ever get throught it, or ever get over it, because of my panic and anx, but I did. Be strong for your little one, and remember we are here for you.
Take one day at a time x

just wanted to post and so i am so sorry to read about your loss and you are bound to feel absolutely awful - loosing a parent must be one of the most traumatic things you can ever deal with. it is bound to make you question your own mortality because it was so unexpected and so how you are feeling is totally normal - it will take lots of time and tlc. thinking of you xx

Sweetie - wot an awful shock for you and your family.

Grief takes its own course and I know its a cliche but in time things will seem better. It is very very early days to come to terms with what has happened.

You can only take one day at a time as the others have said, you will all get through this somehow I know it seems like you won't but you will. I think what your feeling and experiencing is what anyone would be going through just now.

I am lucky enough to not have lost a parent yet - but have experienced losing some very special people in my life in all sorts of circumstances.

Just remember we are here for you anytime - please please feel free to share anything - i;ve always had to cope on my own and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

big hugs to you and your familyx

I wanted to echo what other people have said - and say how sorry I am for your loss. I don't know what to say - just try to take it one day at a time x
