Would Cruse Bereavement Be Able to Help Me?

[PinkBuffalo]

Sorry to ask this question.
I lost my lovely dad towards the end of March and I am not dealing so well with it.
On googling people that can help, other than Samaritans, Cruse care popped up. In my area they visit you at home apparently.
Does anyone recommend them and would they be able able to help me process my entire life being turned upside down?
For context, I live with mum & dad & have now been left just with my severely disabled mum(requiring 24hrcare)As she is moving to be cared for by other family I am also moving into my first house & finding it all very difficult to deal with.
At the moment I just cannot see a way to get over not having my dad for years and years in the future (I am only early 30s & now completely alone)

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I lost my dad two weeks ago also - im 10 yrs older than you but feel just the same in terms of coping with a future without him in it.

Was your dad cared for at any point by a hospice? If so they have counselling services for families.

I think cruse could definitely help. They are a well established organisation.

You have a lot going on and a lot to deal with so do seek help and support. X

Hi Lisa
Thank you for your reply. I'm so sorry you're going through this too.
My dad was not cared for by the hospice as they wouldn't take him, so he spent three horrendous months in hospital. Still don't know what he died of. They lied on his death certificate. He suddenly became very poorly in January, but no one at the hospital knew why. He was pushed from ward to ward whilst the Drs argued about him taking up one of their precious beds.
I'm not dealing with it so well.
I think I will contact cruse, although there opening hours are a bit limited.
Maybe I will try the Samaritans one night
It's just my world revolved around my dad and I feel bereft. I have no partner or kids to carry on for, so it's pretty hard.
I hope you find some peace for yourself x

I’m really sorry to read this. It must be even harder if things were difficult for your dad at the end too.

Definitely phone cruise and see what they can do to help. Do you have friends who can support you or who you can talk to. Maybe in the longer term you could consider volunteering in some way as this would give you a focus. I’d like to do something like that long term - not ready yet.

I wish you all the best too x
