Had another melt down. Getting mums house ready for sale.

[anastasia74]

Hi to the regulars on here.

Not had a very good w/end. Think its because of the nice weather starting and been at mums all weekend getting house ready for sale.

Came across some of my dads things in an outhouse and in his green house that had'nt been touched since he was last there . Made me feel very sad at the time.

But felt worse as the day went on - then could'nt stop crying when I went to bed.

Just feel what is the f point - just feel really down today.

I wondered if anyone could tell me if there experiences with counselling helped at all. Is it worth exploring, cause I'm going around in circles here. (my dad died in July) thanks

Hope you are managing the clearing out. It is horrible. My Mum died a year after my Dad and we had to clear out quickly as the house market was at crash point (Sept 2008). I felt as if I had been hit by a train because we lost them both and had to sell the house within a year.
Bereavement counselling could be worth a try. It helped me a lot and uncovered things that were affecting me that I didn't even know about. It is so normal to feel awful - let yourself cry if you need to. I was very good at pushing things down before and it made it all worse in the long run. Just talking things out when you need to can be easier than saying things over and over again to your family.
Hope this helps.

Counselling has helped me immenseley. If you do have the opportunity please take it. If you have any questions feel free to ask on here or CAT me.

Take it easy on yourself. xx
