My dad died about 2 months ago. I've powered through - no major tears - upset at times but briefly then pushed it out my head.
Dh's dad has now been unexpectedly and suddenly diagnosed with aggressive cancer and I just feel like I can't keep being strong anymore.
I want to support dh but it's like they've all forgotten I've just lost my dad . There's a long history of them not really giving a shit about me and my family and only thinking of themselves but now I just feel like such a bitch. I'm not into competitive misery and I know they're scared and hurting but I just feel like I can't get too dragged down - they are very negative people - and I feel like I will get sucked down.
Not sure if I'm making sense really but I'm finding it hard to support dh and I know that soon we will be forced to tell the kids and they are only 9&5 and have already lost one grandad this year and it's all pretty shit really.
I've got a lot on my plate otherwise - a lot needs sorted for my mum since dad died - and I'm not very well myself.
I just feel like since Father's Day yesterday the grief of my dad has hit me like a ton of bricks and I don't know what to do.
