Just wanted to take a second to day hello, I’m looking for support and a bit of positivity during this strange time. I had some serious health issues a few years ago and I'v been depressed ever since.

Lost someone very important to me a few months ago and really still haven’t mourned the way I need to, I'm to trying to stay strong for everyone else. Prayers for everyone and if I can ever help anyone please let me know. Look forward to uplifting conversations.

Hello,

Music always seems to help. Even just for 10 minutes. If I'm up to it,go for a short walk.

Yes I agree with @SimonEllis44 . I often find a little glimmer of happiness by listening to music. Or talking with a friend. Sometimes it only helps for a little bit of time, but it's something.

Though the lockdown is hard, I do enjoy getting to spend more time at home with family. It's forced me to slow down and appreciate the little things a bit. I try to count my blessings each morning when I wake up and it does help me cheer up a bit.

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Lizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends

this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?
