So sorry to hear this April, have you talked to your GP about bereavement counselling?

I am sorry to hear this. My mum died in March this year and I don't think I have really come to terms with the fact that she is gone, this is it and I will never speak to her again.

It is very hard. I also think it can take a very long time to come to terms with such a big grief. It also sounds like you have a lot on your plate, especially if your husband is not well. Is he getting the help he needs?

Do you think it might help to talk to someone - some people find it helpful. Your GP might be able to refer you for counselling.
