MoonGal - My Mum died having a hard time keeping my head above water

Hi all - its been a couple of years since I visited here. travelling realtively ok. But my Mum died recently and I am having to deal with soemone who is triggering for me. My partner is not giving me much quarter in regards my reactivity and I am struggling, I can't afford to fall a part and I just need to stay paddling, not drowning for another few days till after the funeral. Waving (maybe drowning) but definately

Losing my mother was hard it was just me and her living together for 20 years in the a shared unit , I was her carer when. She got dementia and with her all through palliative care , ones her mainstay through her illness as other family members did not live close by , it's taken a big toll on me no social life no partner , just getting back into the workforce it's very hard after being out of this for over 7years , it's took an enormous physical and mental toll on myself it's very hard to find normality counselling did not help.no idea of what's required be a carer , but you got pick yourself up or you will be left behind , and become a statistic yourself , your mum would not want you to be struggling do keep this in your mind , and try to take it 1 day at a time my friend it does get easier as time goes by think.of the good times you had this will help your mental health , stay positive it gets better it's been 2years since my mum past just make her proud of you ok you will get there
