feel so low

I am hoping that writing this down will help. I am feeling really low at the moment. I am in the process of going through the menopause and I have had 3 bereavements in the last 2 years.
Everyone think I am coping. I was the one who dealt with my mum's funeral, headstone, clearing out mums house, finances etc with some help from siblings.
Maybe, that's part of the reason why I feel so bad as all that is now sorted. Now I have time to grieve.
My relationship with dh is ok but he is not really great at dealing with emotions.
Silly little things have been getting to me. I now have 4 anniversaries in the next 4 months and really don't know how I will cope.
I have also not been looking after myself properly. I have been gaining weight when I should be losing it. Know I need help but not sure where to get it from.
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you

Oh dear. I don't have anything useful to say but didn't want to read and run. Is there anyone you can talk to in RL? Your GP, practise nurse, vicar? Friend? Family? <hug>

Sorry to hear that. I had three bereavements in a year (one a parent) and felt like I was living under a cloud for a long, long time. But it does get bettter, a lot better.

The most important thing to do is be gentle upon yourself. Have you considered any counselling? You can sometimes get it through your workplace.
