Grief and nightmares

Mum died 9 days ago, it was very traumatic leading up to mum’s death. My heart broke when she died and every night since then I have nightmares. I wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats and I’m exhausted because of the constant broken sleep but then I just want to sleep all the time! My mind literally feels heavy, like there is this huge heavy black cloud sitting on top of me, occasionally something reminds me of mum and it hurts but I can’t cry, it just won’t come out. Most of the time I just feel angry, not at anyone or anything just anger and people living just makes me more angry. I’m tired, I’m angry, I’m hurting, I want my mum back and I just want my life back

Hey @Lilyrose
I relate to every word you’ve written, I really do.
I lost my Mum 6 weeks ago and I’m still in shock, it’s been a blur and I’m also angry at living.
I just wanted you to know I truly hear you x

I’m so sorry you are going through this too! Thank you for letting me know I’m not the only one! It’s so hard to function properly when you feel so weighed down! How old was your mum, if you don’t mind me asking? Xx
