Family separation

Oh no that is hard @Leeanne1 the waiting, and not knowing, whilst sitting in grief. I am sending you some gentle hugs hun 🫂🫂

Have you got anyone to keep you company, if not in person than maybe via phone call? You can always have a chat to the suuuuper lovely folks over at Griefline too 💜

(Unfortunately the organisation is closing their helpline soon, but from what I could gather on their website it is still available, but there's long wait times. You could potentially request a callback instead. Just thought you should know!)

@Jynx

Thanks for that but ATM I don't really want to talk to anyone but on here

@Leeanne1 very legit hun. Have you found any threads you felt like joining? I am about to log off and can't stay to chat but it's definitely good to hear that you're reaching out in this space 😊

I feel so sick worried about the funeral and seeing the children again. I feel that sick I'm not hungry

hey there @Leeanne1 anxiety has a way of making our appetite change, sorry to hear that you've been feeling sick with worry. i'm sitting with you and sending you some warm, gentle hugs. what usually helps you feel calm?

@rav3n

Crocheting but that's not helping me.i can't seem to do anything ATM. im scared of facing the children I'm hoping that I'm not ask to go 😭

that's okay if crocheting isn't working right now @Leeanne1 that sick, anxious feeling absolutely sucks - but it's temporary, the feeling will pass.

if you do go, are there ways you can perhaps avoid them? is there someone else you could bring with you to feel less alone?

i know this isn't easy at all for you, i'm really glad you're here and trying your best 💙

@rav3n

I don't like to avoid them that's not a good idea. I don't need more problems, I want to fix it not make it worse .

My sister would come with me but that's not my call its up to the sons and Daughter

that's totally up to you! i'm glad you wanna work things out with them, but also, if you're not ready yet and want to work it out another time instead - there's no shame in that either. @Leeanne1

i see that you wanna fix things, it's clear how much they mean to you. would it be possible to reach out to them, even if its by text, and share how you feel?

it would be nice to have your sister by your side, but even if she isn't - i believe in you. i believe you'll be able to overcome this interaction and be okay.

@rav3n

I've tried texting the one that I have in my phone but no response and I clearly understand they are grieving the lost of their grandfather.they lost their grandmother 7 years ago
