Hi fellow travellers

I am hoping that some of you have journeyed through delayed grief or are doing so because I really could do with some help!

In October, 1999, there was a horrible train crash in London in which a mate of mine was killed. For some reason I completely shut down at the same time and existed in a zombie like state until October last year...13 years 'dead'.

What I am really struggling with is that all the things that happened to me and around me throughout all those years are now starting to hit me. For instance today is the anniversary of my Nanna's death. I was really close to her and thought I was coping really well, until today, it's like I only just found out she is dead. She died April 19th, 2000.

Has anyone else experienced these delayed reactions? If you have how did you get through?

It freaks me out because a lot of things have happened in the past 13 years and if this is the beginning of facing them I dread to think how the rest of it is going to be!!!!!!

Thanks so much...101
