I have received a letter from the place where Mum went to day care for her cancer (she also had vascular dementia) asking me if I wish to attend a support evening for bereaved relatives. The evening provides an opportunity to talk to an experienced volunteer and other relatives about the difficulties we have been facing since our loss and I am really unsure about whether to attend or not
At the moment I am coping as I seem to be having a 'numb period' where I don't really think too much about things but if I go to this meeting will it bring everything back too painfully and upset me? But if I don't go, have I missed an opportunity to talk to somebody who might be able to understand some of the feelings that I am going through?
I am an only child but, fortunately, have a very supportive partner who has said he will go with me if I want to go but it's my decision.
If anyone else has been in this position and can give me any advice it would be much appreciated.
Love Liz xx
