Hello @CHIP21, I’m sorry it’s taken a little while to respond to you. I’m sorry for the death of your mum. Your loss is still very recent so it’s understandable that you’re struggling. The first Christmas can be particularly hard. You might want to read our Coping with grief at Christmas article, which may have some ideas for how you can get through the days.
