I know that some people deal with loss but don’t know how to deal with it because of how their parenting could be I know it’s not the same experience but if anyone dealing with those experiences for example abusive/ unemotionally available parents I want to know that you can always comment and be open here.

Hi @felix1, thank you for reaching out - I’m sorry to hear about your mum.
It sounds like you are coping with some difficult emotions right now. Grief is different for everybody and however you are feeling is completely okay.
You may want to take a look at our Coping with the death of a parent page which talks about the kind of feelings we might have if we had a complex relationship with our parent.
The NAPAC (National Association for People Abused in Childhood) is also a good organisation that can offer lots of support. They have a helpline on 0808 801 0331 if you want to talk more about your feelings following your mum’s death.
Take good care and keep reaching out,
Seaneen
