Question

My father passed away just over a year ago and I am struggling to accept this.  My sister and I had to place our mother in care because of my mother’s medical problems. 

I live on my own and have many lovely and caring friends, but even so I often find myself feeling lonely and tearful.

I have problems sleeping and often lie awake thinking very dark and scary thoughts.

Sports have always helped me to cope, but I am struggling with recent injuries that are taking long to heal.

I have also lost my job on two occasions and because things are so quiet at work at the moment, I am worried that it will happen again.
