Not coping!

[MumsyMum31]

I have a 16 week old baby and I lost my mum 2 weeks ago. I just can’t get myself together. I’m suppressing my feelings as I have a 6 year old and I am afraid I will project my devastation onto my baby! I don’t know what to do or where to turn, and now that we are on some kind of lock down I just don’t think I’m coping but at this time in the middle of this pandemic what can I do? It is the worst thing to ever happen me 😢

I'm so sorry. New babies are tough, lockdown is tough, and losing your mum is very tough.

Do you have a friend you can FaceTime?

I can't imagine how tough it must be having a baby when there's a Pandemic, never mind when you've just lost your DM.

Agree that talking to friends might help.

Do your HV and your DP (if you have one) know how you're feeling? If not, I think you should tell them both so that they can support you.

Have you thought of getting in touch with Cruse too?

How are you today @Mumsymum31?
