Grief - when do you stop feeling overwhelmingly sad?

It’s coming up for a year since I lost two people very special to me. I’ve spent all day crying, and crying. Life seems meaningless without them in it. I do good things but they’re always missing, and I am so, so utterly desperate to talk to them and get a cuddle and for them to tell me I’m doing alright.

I feel so crushingly alone. I have people around me but not who I really, really want.

I keep thinking about ending it all, I’ve spent all day thinking about how I’d do it. if the rest of my life is going to feel this way. but I’d be leaving people behind and I don’t want to cause more hurt. And maybe even ending it all wouldn’t give me what I want.

I have a support worker who understands. But it’s the weekend so can’t speak to her. I don’t know what to do.

I'm so sorry for your losses, @everypartofmehurts.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health Resources. You can also go to the Samaritans or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

I'm not sure if you're getting any support for your grief, but here are some options for you if you feel it would be helpful.

Sue Ryder offer online bereavement support, including an online community and online counselling. You can find out more on their website.

Take good care OP 💐
