Can't be real, his phones still ringing

[Lovemyshoes]

Police have just been to tell me my brothers body has been found

I'm not sure to be honest, not sleeping, barely eating, few problems with family members. Struggling to cope with my two as I have had all the energy zapped out of me.

One minute I want to be surrounded by friends and the next I want to stay in bed.

I really feel for you, there is so much for you to cope with. I am sorry to hear about family problems. Try and focus on yourself as much as you can.

Keep on putting one foot in front of the other. Everything is up in the air and unfamiliar at the moment, but this will pass and things will settle into a new normal for you, I promise.

How are the funeral plans going?

Everything is on hold at the minute.

I've got to the point that I've turned all phones off.

So sorry lovemyshoes
Please try to talk to your DH about what you need and how he can help you.
When my mum died, DH found it hard to cope with my grief, as I had already lost a brother.
I remember him saying "people die every day".
That was a like a knife to my heart. I know he was at a loss for words, but I can never forgive him for it, although it was ten years ago. It has damaged our relationship, I resent him for it.
Please don't let the same thing happen to you.

Phones off for a while is a good idea. Maybe let someone who is in touch with everyone else know that you are okay & just need a bit of down time.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. It's very hard as I can testify. Some people in your life who you thought you could rely on will be absolutly useless or even worse-downright hostile. They can't cope with the grief. All you can do is accept the good and ignore the bad. My brother was killed by car driver at the age of 32 and I grieve for him still. Good luck to you

so sorry to hear of your loss.

so sorry for your loss x

You poor darling, I'm sorry to hear this x
