"Losing both my parents"

About: Six Degrees Social Enterprise (CIC) / Salford bereavement therapy service

(as a service user),

I lost both my parents in the space of 3 months my mum from cancer my dad a sudden heart attack i felt so lost, my mum was my best friend my dad was my everything, I couldnt see a way out I didnt want to accept my dad was gone, a part of me wont ever accept, but I learned that that's ok. I learned a lot about myself and a lot of about what my parents really were to me.

I was taught a lot about grief and my anxiety and that there is no time limit on grief, I went into this therapy with not a lot of hope at all but I have come out lighter and with hope and knowing I'm on my journey of better days, less fearful of being here without 2 of the most important and significant people in my life.

I'm not over my grief far from it, do I wish I had more time with the service yes 100% because it has been fantastic. The therapist listened, helped me and taught me a lot and for that I will be forever grateful to them and to Six Degrees.

I still cry a lot and my heart still aches for them but I also smile more.
