the death of a family/friend member whilst in a dp/dr state?

my nan is very sick and may not be around much longer...

this scares me more than anything in the world right now! she is my closest family member and death scares me so very much...but the death of another REALLY scares me much more!

these thoughts make me feel so sick and even more dp'ed and dr'ed...

i am trying not to think of all this but it is so hard not to...

anyone else relate to what i am talking about?

how did the loss of a loved one effect your dp/dr?

i know it sounds selfish but i am scared how my dp/dr might change in such a situation...i am really trying not to think like this but it is so hard!

thank you for reading...

i cannot thank you all enough for your kind words...

and thank you for sharing what you are going through too...

you guys have really helped me and i appreciate it so very much!

i know that in the end things will be ok and i will be ok and life will go on...will be painful to start like when my Grandfather died...

but that was before dp and dr and although coping was hard for us all at that time...we all coped well and lived on...

it is just being in this dp/dr state that disturbs me....

today my boss got a shock when a friend of hers died suddenly and was told over the phone...

then i heard her reaction when she was on the phone...my stomach just knotted and my dp and dr went out of control! it scares me how i might be when i hear the entual words of my own family members passing away whilst still feeling dp/dr...

i hate to say this as it sounds so selfish....but i cannot help it...

thank you all again so much for your replies and take care all of you :)

so sorry to hear that Recicent :(

i now that if i am still in a dp/dr state when someone passes away that it will no doubt get worse at first at least...

i am very frightened of this...

but i suppose i just have to wait for the time to come...sometimes i think that is worse...the waiting...

take care.
