Members Peter Fewkes Posted May 30, 2019 Members Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I lost my mum 10 years ago (in July) and I still don't think I have grieved properly. Both my older brother and dad managed to grieve immediately after her death however I remained the strong one and held things together so I could support them. This was not my choice, it just seemed to happen. Unfortunately by doing this my body reacted in a dramatic way and I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis which I will now have for the rest of my life. My current job is very stressful and combined with what I believe is not grieving properly it has flared up again. I haven't spoken to anyone about this but feel it's time to do so.

Members reader Posted June 1, 2019 Members Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Dear Peter, Please know there is no right way or wrong way to grieve and there is no fixed timeline. If you want to maybe consider talking to a grief counsellor or going to grief counselling. I also found these websites helpful in coping with my grief: What's Your Grief Grief in Common Grief Share Grief Healing Blog Grief Recovery Method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
