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?

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.
