i just think CAB will give me a loan then im back to square 1 next month etcYou spoken to the CAB mate ? Your local council may also have a service that can assist with food/fuel might be worth giving them a call.
Many people in your boat at the moment things will improve over the coming months
A month is no time mate. Honestly, it's natural. Grief is a weird old process and the sadness can hit you out of the blue.
Just a little over 9 years now since my Mum passed. If some tears help, then let them flow.
I sometimes think people are under too much pressure (from themselves and/or others) to "get over" things, especially the loss of loved ones. But I think there are some things that some people (and I'm one of them) will never get over; I know that once I accepted I wasn't going to get over something, things got just that little bit easier. There's often a lot of emphasis on closure and so on, and I'm definitely not trying to devalue that, but if that's not possible then sometimes it's enough just to recognise that we're not getting past that particular thing. Hope this makes sense.
Season ticket, so sorry to hear your struggling. With regards food etc, Forever Blue is right, the CAB can help. I suspect there will be a waiting list given the current economic circumstances. Look up your local food bank, go there and ask how you get a food bank parcel. You may need to referred however, I strongly suspect they will help you bud. There will be a number of organisations - I'm not local but there should be - who are there for people like you who are struggling in life. You just have to if you can, put your pride away for now and actively seek their support. Getting someone to help with food shouldn't be a problem.
My sincere condolences mate. Your dad will still be rooting for us, and Essendon.Well, time for a little self indulgence if I may...
Today marks 50 years since my very first visit to Goodison Park & the only time I was able to watch a game there. As some may know, I was planning on being there for the Fulham game as it was the closest game to the date. Not only was that a bullet dodged on my part but, sadly, the day is now also associated with the passing of my Dad who slipped away this morning.
As much as he had no links to Liverpool (Mum was the Scouser) he also had a lot of fond memories of the City, as do I. We are both Essendon (AFL) fans as well, so at least their season is doing really well... (I didn't mention the Fulham game before he passed!)
Anyway... If your Mum or Dad are still with you, give them a hug or a call. Although my Dad was 95, life is still too short. Take care.
Mate I hear you so much on this one. It's uncanny you posted as I had a conversation on this with a mental health professional just yesterday.
Thank you, & you're not wrong. I found an old Home shirt that I bought for him, from the Landon Donovan era, the V neck one, still hanging in his wardrobe...
So true mate, everyone deals with these situations in so many different ways, I don’t think anyone can tell you what's best, my brother and I have lost both of our parents in the last 7 months and have become closer as a result of it and now call each other almost daily as opposed to hardly ever previously, that small fact alone has helped me get through it all, I've been the stronger of the two of us and have become the big brother that perhaps I hadn't been before.
'like' + 'sad'. can't hit both so done this way instead. rough time and heart goes out to you both for such massive and sudden loss.
That’s a brilliant way to look at things.
So sorry you are feeling like this but please don’t think you are a waste of space, you are not. I hope you are able to get the help you need. Best wishes.
