Members Hanna28 Posted September 10, 2012 Members Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hello everyone. This past June I lost my dad (69) to mesothelioma after a three year struggle. Throughout the last year of his life I cared for him on the weekends and his girlfriend cared for him during the week. Additionally, for the past ten years I have been the primary caregivefor my mother. I have been told 17 times she would not make it out of the hospital. She is a fighter.I work full time and take care of my house, my mothers house, and am now the executrex of my fathers estate. I feel as though I don't even have time to be sad about the loss of my dad yet deep down I feel so empty. How do you all do it? How do you just go on with your everyday lives after losing someone you were so close to? I am at a loss. I almost feel like an orphan....strange as that may sound. I have looked for grief counseling in my area but the closest is over an hour away and I just don't have that kind of time in my days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tor Posted September 11, 2012 Members Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 i have been told to go to councilling but i now have anxiety and im too nervous to get the bus to go (lol) thats why i thought this forum might help. u seem to be in shock, you need to take a little time out of each day for you, to grieve. just try to have 5 minutes to yourself a day and see if that helps. you cant run on fumes for much longer hon. i found this forum and posted a topic and it ended up that i wrote for an hour. and that was the first time i had said my feelings to anyone or anything since it happened. it may help if you do the same? but please take some time out for yourself, if you lock everything away thats when it eats away at you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
