What was the lowest point in your life?

[Grapeapples]

I often find myself thinking on this, although probably dwell on it too much because one of my lowest points was at beginning of feb 2020. Something major had happened at work and I really thought my entire career was down the toilet. I remember the weather being filthy as well, and crying all the time.

Weirdly it took lockdown to sort of reset everything and now I have such a good life I could never have believed it!

Sorry that should read - the days my DCs died.

So much heartache. Sending you all light and love and hoping for gentler times for everyone

This.

The day I brought my Aunt home to die , my DH lost his job and my beloved cousin died. All on the same day. The marriage was barely holding on due to his lying and cheating. I remember going to bed howling under the duvet as it was all too much.
Things have been bad ever since . Covid , etc and now I find myself alone and my MH is slowly worsening

But some of your stories give me hope. The worst possible thing must be the loss of a child. So very sorry for all of you that this has happened to.

I can't begin to imagine the heartache and loss so many of you have endured. Please be kind to yourself. And I hope you all find peace some day

Last July till now when my husband died. Nothing else so far in my life has beaten this.

For everyone on this thread who have lost loved ones

Actually, I think the lowest point was walking around with my dead baby inside me for 4 weeks while I was waiting to miscarry and no one cared. The baby was dead, I was just supposed to get over it. But that’s really hard to do when it still has to come out somehow (and that ended up almost killing me when I haemorrhaged).

I am shocked when I hear stories like this. I worked with a lady who experienced similar. The pp was right - it is completely inhumane and wholly avoidable.

My husband had cancer. 2 months later I also had cancer. Life could not get any worse. Still in a state of shock
