Coping with sudden loss of my mum

My mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in September 2024 at just 66. No signs of illness or any warning and so unprepared for it.

I feel so robbed of any chance to say goodbye because i never knew the last time i saw was the last time forever. I don’t feel like i can really comprehend that she is gone and i will never see or speak to her again. I don’t know how to process it all or how its completely changed me.

I’ve kept going because my children need me and i was determined to finish my degree to make my mum proud. Now its done i just feel so lost and alone. What do i even do now? The one person i want to talk about how i feel isn’t here and it hurts so deep. Thanks for reading

I feel your pain, my mum passed away on Friday and she was 60. It was a sudden illness and she was sedated and on a ventilator so didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. I feel lost and I don’t quite know what to do. I’m taking things day by day at the moment and just hoping she’s guiding me somewhere.

Im so sorry for your loss. Look after yourself and know its ok to be selfish at times and put your own needs first. Dont make any big decision right now and know your mum is always with you

Thanks, same to you too. I guess we have to see it as we’re still here so we have to live the best life possible for our mum’s as we’re the lucky ones, even if it doesn’t feel like it
