The thought of the cremation is tearing me apart. I know my mum is already gone but losing her physically is too much. People say she’ll still be here in my heart and memories but I can’t cope with her not being physically anywhere anymore.
Oh I really feel for you. My mum’s funeral was last week and it was really hard to cope with. I had family to help me through it but it was so so difficult.
You will cope you are stronger than you think you are and your lovely mum, just like mine, deserves all the dignity and respect and love that you can give her.
Keep strong and do what you need to do to cope.
Sending you love 
and hugs. We are here if you need us.
Thank you. Writing a letter for my mum’s coffin has completely broken my heart 
It is so understandable that writing your mum a letter broke your heart. But you have to go through the pain, there is no other way. I lost my mum in May and it is really hard so I send you understanding, thoughts and hugs.
I too wrote a letter for my mum to take with her and read when she was ready to. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I told her how much I love her and miss her and asked her to forgive anything wrong I ever did. I know she knows what was in it and I know she knows how much I love her.
I’m sure you mum knows how much you love her and miss her and I’m sure she will be so proud of you. I know the funeral will be so very hard for you and I will keep you in my thoughts as you go through this awful time.
I know exactly how you feel and I bet there are many others in our community who do as well. Take care, keep well and post when you feel able to. We are all here for you
