I lost a parent a few months ago, it was a great shock and not something I have been able to come to terms with. But I got on with life because I had no choice.
Now my brother has passed away and I feel so alone. My local community was great last time and the words of support and cards and gestures made everything bearable.
But this time I feel as though I have committed some kind of sin by being bereaved twice in a short period. I have had some odd reactions from the people I have told and now I am wary of telling anyone else. I feel as though I want people to rally around me but how can tell people what has happened without seeming like I am demanding help and sympathy. To add to this I have had little contact from my extended family. I just feel so alone and I have no one to turn to.
Perhaps I expect too much.
