Grieving advice

If you can afford it, look out a therapist in your area and book a session. Make sure they are licenced and verified. I have one near me I've been to a few times and I find it very helpful 😊 unfortunately it's often better to go private if you can. The postnatal team leaving you that long is ridiculous.

I would recommend seeing if your employer covers therapy. While obviously not the same as a parent, I had three miscarriages the last two years before my daughter was born, just a week ago, and I have been in therapy since the first loss. and it has made a huge difference. It also hasn’t because a financial burden because I was able to find someone that is mostly covered through my insurance at work. I hope you are able to find someone that you like working with, I think it will make a world of a difference. 🫂

did they not refer u to nhs therapy? its not as good or in depth but can help x

Have you tried talking therapies? I lost my mum 10 years ago and tbh I was reluctant to even get help at the time. But it has helped me a lot over the years.
I also highly recommend reflexology to keep you calm, it’s usually inexpensive.
