    I know where you are coming from, Kelly. Depression and anxiety and feeling numb are so hard. Try and hang in there and take each day as it comes - small steps, that's my approach these days!

      hi kelly. i heart goes out to u. i understand your sorrow as i lost both parents within a short time frame.

      is there a possibility thay someone can help u get some breavement counselling. unresolved grief can take over one's life. it's important to share your feeling with someone who understand the pain/sorrow & feeling of loss & void that can follow a breavement. these feelings need processing.

      healing thoughts to u.

    Bless you. So many of us know what you are going through - on occasions when my life has been going well - I begin to panic that something bad will happen. I lost my Mum nearly 10 years ago and it was incredibly hard to move forwards with life, took me several years to make peace with life without her. You will do it, it just takes time.

    Focus on one small task each day and aim to achieve it, something practical like eating one meal, even if the other two are just cereal. Good luck x

    Hi Kelly, BLESS you....I know how hard it is, but it really will get easier, time is a great healer....my mum who sadly had suffered for many years with Brain damage....died when I was seven months pregnant with my first son, I was heartbroken....then eighteen months later my dad died on the day I came out of hospital, after suffering many years of pain, operations, and a terrible cancer that had reached his brain...I had come home that day, and went straight to see him,, I had given birth to beautiful twin sons, he never got to see them, he was such a good, kind, intelligent and much loved man, I miss them both so much even now, but I am sure that they are here with me all of the time...I know for certain.!!! that my mother is, she is always throwing things around....

    I know that it is awful and life feels empty at the moment,..but they are ALWAYS, always, always with you....

    you may not think it now, but you will think of happy , fun filled times...and you know that the very last thing that they would want is for you to feel so lost and grieve so much for them....

    please, please, please take care, you must see. your gp and get some help for your depression, and maybe counselling if you feel up to it or want it.... big, big, big hugs to you, in my thoughts...take care...Deirdre xxx
