Hello,
Thank you for allowing me to join this group. I am new bereaved, having lost one of my siblings in the most horrific way, and having to face an inquest, which is scaring me. I received the news via phone, the news was given in a very matter of fact way which I am angry about. There have been so many times, when I have broken down in front of complete strangers or so called friends, who tell you to think positive and get over it. No one seems to listen or understand what I am going through, all the practicalities, funeral, next the sorting things in the house, and then an inquest. I am on complete overload and really struggling today, I have got through some of it, feeling completely numb and disconnected, and at other times, feeling like my heart has been completely ripped out, angry at everyone and everything and today, extremely depressed. Is this normal or am I going mad? I cannot carry on like this. Thanks for reading.
