I lost my mum a week ago and I’ve had people say how sorry they are. Quite a few have pointed out they can’t imagine what it must be like. I know this is good they haven’t lost a parent but it still makes me jealous that they have their mum still and I don’t. Is that unreasonable?

I don’t know whether it’s unreasonable or not but I completely get what you’re saying. I lost my daughter 9 weeks ago and I have the same feelings of jealousy, not that I would ever wish this loss on anyone else but I can’t help feeling envious that people still have their families intact and I don’t. I can’t offer an answer, but I can reassure you that you’re not alone in how you feel xx
I have similar feelings to especially other day when sat in a cafe & daughter was with her mum having coffee its the feeling your never going to get these moments again with your mum the emotions seem to just flood in its like being on a rollercoaster your not alone with your feelings 
Thank you both and sorry for your loss. I work in a school and I know seeing grandparents come to collect their children will be a trigger for me when I return. I’m currently avoiding people but know I can’t do that forever. The world is full of painful reminders of what is missing in my life.
