I was angry at the world, angry that cancer is such a ****, angry at my mum for ignoring her symptoms and not telling us, angry that other people still had their mum, angry that my son had lost his amazing grandma when he was just 4 and just angry in general. I think anger was the easier emotion to deal with whilst trying to drag my dad through his grief. When I moved passed the anger the sadness was overwhelming for a while. Its been 9 years this year and I still feel anger at times but because I miss her so much still

The times I have had to with the losses of a fair number of incredibly special and close people in my life.
In the main I've done so as privately as possible.

However I agree it's hard to deal with it.
There are ways eventually as bots said with the reality of it, that you function through it but for some it is always ongoing.

What I will add is sometimes and I found this myself, although dealing with a major loss last year.
I was eased through some of it by people on here.
Not family and friends but as to one on tibb especially and a few others too.
Was a way of release of what I felt privately.
Also with the support too of a former member of tibb.

I found writing about it and my feelings, easier than talking directly about it.

Those people I still thank immensely, and they know who they are.

However, it can be a devastating process that some find a way through fairly quickly, some a great deal longer and many years later, plus for some never.

I know how you feel, Joey.
