I am struggling to come to terms with the loss of my parents 18days apart.
My mum came to help me in Scotland after the birth of my 3rd child and after 2 months of me giving birth she fell ill unexpectedly and needed emergency cardiac surgery. She died in ICU a few hours later on the 07/08/11
It was very very painfull and I was struggling with her death and the grieving process. We had mum cremated and I carried her ashes back to South africa to my family. It was traumatic and I think I just blocked it out on the trip.
I had just arrived back from South Africa with my 3 young kids and husband.
Then, my dad died suddenly of a massive heart attack on the 25/08/11 He was heart broken.
Family are wanting to raise funds for me to go back home but the trauma is to much for me I dont think I can bear to see my dad buried
Friends and family do not know what to say to me. Both my parents were 70yrs old and their loss is enormous for me. They were goin to be married for 49yrs next week Thursday. I called dad everyday even on the day he died he told me he was fine. The shock of his sudden death is too much for me and antidepressants appear to numb me
Hope I can attend a grieving couselling session asap
