Not doing well

[noideabutstilltrying]

My Dad died suddenly of Sepsis on 9 August. He walked into hospital on Thursday afternoon and was gone on Tuesday morning.

A family row stopped me from attending the cremation and my chance to say goodbye.

Last night my father in law passed away from cancer. We knew it was coming but it was still very upsetting.

I have tried to carry on as normal and have not taken any bereavement leave. I have a stressful job and it is customer facing and the people I look after are very stressed.

My teenage daughter was already struggling with her mental health and this seems to have pushed her past her breaking point.

I am not coping with my feelings and have no idea how I can help my daughter. I am able to arrange counselling but this has been refused by her.

I would really appreciate any advice that you netters are able to give to bring my little family back together and how to process my feelings and help my teens to understand their feelings

Hello
I saw your post hadn’t got any comments. I have had time periods where there were lots of deaths and other things going on. The best ‘healer’ is time. It will get better. And talking to each other - even if it’s just touching on the subject when speaking about something else. Making sure they can open up to you at anytime. And also realising that emotions are running high and sometimes arguments about A are actually a build up of B,C and D. Counselling only works if people want and are ready to go so don’t beat yourself up about your daughter. Little steps whilst you deal with it all xx
