How do you come to terms with loosing a member of your family you see as a mother figure, so suddenly and with no warning?
Hi Megan. In all honesty I don’t know how we come to terms with loss I just know that we have to try.
I lost my partner in March suddenly and it’s been traumatic, I’ve never cried as much. I miss him terribly.
Sometimes though I can smile and laugh and only yesterday me n my youngest looked at old photos we found at the back of the garage and the people in those photos are all gone.
It’s a fact that with life comes death and those left have to carry on until it’s their turn…
One day you will smile at the memories but it takes time.
Thank you very much for the reply. It means a lot that you can share your experiences with me through such a hard time. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss and can’t tell you what an inspiration you are talking about it with me today. Grief is such a painful process and I can only imagine the sadness you’ve felt after losing your partner. My auntie passed away suddenly on Monday, her husband had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and ironically she was planning his funeral. Before we knew it my mum and her sisters had to make the decision to turn off the support that was keeping her alive, with a 50/50 chance of survival. She tried so hard but lost the battle and I feel like she’s been robbed from us. My mum and her sisters had lost their mum at a young age and my mum raised them after. We are a really close family and I am a mum of 2 young children, trying to find any sort of way to be right for them and carry on.
