Finding it hard to Grieve

McG

Has anyone else felt like this?

Today is the 4th anniversary of my mums passing and for a long time I have been in complete denial.

I am currently is the middle stages of receiving an ASD diagnosis, first assessment being 3 weeks ago and the last in another 2 weeks.

Because if's such an important day, I feel like I am masking how I should be feeling.  I have not been formally diagnosed autistic yet, and I am finding it difficult to process my mum's anniversary, coupled with the fact I feel I have impostor syndrome, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me, I am completely normal and being selfish and silly.

Bit of a random post but thanks for taking a look.

  • Hi McG. 

    First of all, I am truly sorry for your loss. It's such a shocking event that no one can ever funky prepare for. I hope you have a great support network around you. We are all here for you anyway. 

    As Martin said, there's really no prescribed or scripted way to feel. It sounds like your mum meant a lot to you, and that certainly takes a long time to process. 

    We lost my mother in law this week, and a woman helping us to preserve flowers in her garden said time can help heal all wounds. I hope that provides some comfort. 

    Do direct message me if you like. We're all here for you. You are not sily I promise you.
