My brother killed himself about a year ago. My dad died a little less than 5 months ago, and about 2 months ago i found out my mother has stage 3 pancreatic cancer.
I’m so sorry to hear about everything you’ve been going through. Losing your brother, your father, and now facing your mother’s serious illness is an unimaginable amount of grief and stress. It’s understandable that you’re feeling overwhelmed by such a heavy burden.
Please remember that it’s okay to seek support during this time. Talking to a counselor or therapist might provide you with a space to process your emotions and navigate this difficult period. You don’t have to go through this alone—I know from my own experiences, in times like these, reaching out to friends, family, or support groups who can offer comfort and understanding has served me. Taking care of yourself amidst this pain is important, and finding ways to express and manage your grief can help as you navigate these challenging times. - AndrewS
Hey friend. First - I am so glad to hear from you and am so glad you chose to make a post. That being said, I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this.
How are you holding up? How are you doing?
I can imagine feeling beat up by life and feeling like. I can imagine the constant state of grief taking a long toll, choking out any daily happiness’ and joys in a dark cloud.
Are you seeing anyone about it? Any therapists, support groups, grief counselors? I understand that in many parts of the world, mental health care is a privilege and do not want to balk at the ridiculous barrier to entry that may come with those. But I think they can be valuable tools should you find a way in the door.
Im sorry that you have to endure such a marathon of difficulty. I wont shower you with platitudes. But I will say that you are not alone. We are here if you need us, on the forum.
Ill be keeping your mother in my thoughts and hopes, as well as yourself. Feel free to post here as much as you need, vent as much as you need, feel as much as you need.
