Hello
I’m new to this group. My mum died 10 weeks ago and I feel totally lost without her. I have many cherished memories but can’t accept that we can’t be together again. How do people manage feeling so drained? I feel like colour has gone from my world……

I am so sorry. I lost my mum a year ago. The immediate pain grows less, but I still feel the world has lost some meaning and isn’t the same place to me. I can’t really believe she’s not here. Sending you very best wishes. Your feelings will change and move on, but she will always be with you.
Hi Jess,
First of all, I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you a big virtual hug 
I lost my mum at the end of January and the grief is so heavy. I guess you just have to take it a day at a time and do your best each day. I completely understand the feeling of the colour draining from your world but there is still light out there and it will come back to you. It won’t ever be the same but you’ll find ways to get through the dark days.
All the best x

Thank you so much for your sensitive and kind reply. I know what you mean, or can relate to what you say about the heaviness. I realise now that so much of the structure of my days was chatting to mum so there’s a tough emptiness right now. Thank you. Jess x

Mums leave such a big and lasting impact on us and that only grows when they’re gone. So much of my life revolved around my mum and her absence is so heavily felt every single day. It does make it that much harder.
Impossible not to miss them in almost every moment x

Absolutely. It’s such a tough long journey. I think there are moments of peace, but so much turmoil and waves of intense emotion that feel so damn hard at times. Sending positive thoughts to you for the road ahead. Thank you for caring and connecting x
