bereavement

Marjorie195

Our daughter took her own life 5 years ago, after a long depressive illness. Mostly, I have learned to live with it. But, I hate January.

Memories, like little bolts of lightening, have been striking. 

We have just had the best christmas for many years, with our son and new daughter in law. I was happy for while.

But it was not like christmas was years ago, the four of us happy together.

Our brand new beautiful christmas bauble was shattered, as though we had dropped it when we took down the tree.

  •  So Sorry for your loss. CRUISE bereavement support should be able to help you. Or ask your G.P for councelling. Most practices have an in practice councellor. Or  even a psychologist. Because even when we think were over the worst of the bereavement, it can come back,when we least expect it, and at times of happiness, or things happening like prescious baubales smashing, can trigger of feelings of guilt, anxiety, upset. They can help with any feelings that you thought you had dealt with,which can resurface, especially at certain times, like january. They may be able to suggest ways in which you can remember your daughter and help you cope.
