Can't cope with the thought of loosing DGF

[Parrotinthehouse]

Hello,

Im looking for some suggestions on how to help me cope with the situation.

My DGF is not a well man, and I dont feel like im coping well with the situation and dred to think what i will be like when the time comes and he passes.

My dad was never around and my mum struggled as a single parent so DGF took on lots of responibility for me as a child both financial and emitionally.

Honestly i dont think anyone has ever loved me as much as he does.

I am almost 40 and we speak everyday.

His health is getting worse and im crying in the shower everynight becuase im terrified how i will cope without the person who loves me most.

I have a small child and i really need to hold it together.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. He has been the main carer in your life, no wonder you feel such anxiety at the thought of losing him.

Do you have friends you could confide in? I suggest making an appt with your GP… perhaps counselling is an option to help you manage your feelings and fears about the future.

Wishing you all the best 🌸

Just bumping this for you as I see you didn’t get many responses. Hopefully you’ll get some more…
