Hi I’m penny. I’ve posted before about losing my precious mummy who passed away 27th November last year
Grief is eating me up. I can’t function properly and my mental health is not good. It’s also affecting my physical health as well. At what point does grief become easier or does it even get better. When do I stop hurting. I don’t really have anyone to talk to. My son is great he will hug me when he comes to see me but I feel very very low. I’ve spoken to friends at church. But I feel desperately lonely and just want my mummy back. I’m a 55 year old who constantly cries is this normal
Yes is normal to cry loads. Bless you. My mum died 30 years ago now. My dad two years before her. My husband three and half years ago and stillborn 46 years ago and loads friends and relations.
Still get badly affected. But chat on here helps. You get good times in between. But they all have a place and get remembered. Just say how you feel here.

Oh Penny
I just want my mummy back too - I lost her at the end of last October and I too continue to grieve and continue to cry. Everybody’s normal is a bit different but what is normal for you is entirely normal as it is how you feel and no one can say that you should or shouldn’t be different you just are what you are. I can say that for me the periods of utterly despairing acute grief are a little bit further apart now but the grief is constant even though the levels of it very a little. I miss her so much and why don’t I have a brother? His way of coping is not to talk about her which I find very hard indeed someone else on this site commented that they are no longer a daughter and they just time goes on they will need to work out who and what they are now. I think that’s very true and explain something of how I am feeling now. I’m not yet ready to work out what I’m going to be going forward, but it helps to understand some of why I’m feeling what I’m feeling. I don’t know if this ramble is of any use to you but you can know that someone else is feeling very similar to you so in that sense at least you’re not alone. I

So sorry, about the rubbish English. I use dictation as my wrists are very sore and sometimes what I say is not what it writes…… I meant to say that although I have a brother, his way of coping is…..
