So sorry for your loss.
I lost my mum 6 months ago and life does feel less heavy but the grief still hits hard. Just be kind to yourself in these early days x

I came on here a week or so after my mum passed hoping for an answer but the truth is it’s been 10 weeks and it hurts just as much. I reached out to my GP and also waiting for some sort of counselling to find a new normal. Speaking to friends who have been through similar experiences have helped me a bit. Just know that you’re not alone.

Just looking for some sort of coping mechanisms x
I signed up to the gym after my mum passed, it helped to focus my mind on something other than grieving, I only go 2 maybe 3 times a week and it’s a change of scenery. Even just 5/10 minutes a day at home doing stretches or running on the spot.
Taking time for myself like going for a walk or listening to music has helped a bit. Also speaking to people who have been through a similar thing to me when I feel ready to talk.
I went back onto antidepressants whilst she was in hospital too, I’ve been on them before as I’ve struggled with my mental health in the past so it’s helping a bit for me but doesn’t take the pain away and isn’t suitable for everyone.
I hope that helps in some way, I’m still trying to find the best way forward but if I find anymore coping mechanisms I’ll post on here.

4 years ago almost since I lost my mum and I don’t think it does get easier. I still feel angry, hurt, numb, broken like apart of me is missing that will never be replaced. I try to take each day as I come for the sake of my kids but it’s hard…
Try and be kind yourself 🩵🕊️
I lost my Mum last night in the wee hours of the morning I’m in another state but had spoken to her on the phone she promised me she wasnt going to die or anything as she had been unwell and sleeping heaps I was worried and voiced my opinion to my baby brother who lives with her and takes care of her he was trying to get her to doctors but she just wanted to sleep and he found her at about 1am tried to revive her and the ambulance came and couldn’t revive her they’re aren’t doing an autopsy so we won’t know what she died from. I had been organising things to move back interstate to where Mum was so I could be with her but I didn’t make it in time I feel so guilty and broken beyond words I spoke to her many times a day and could tell her anything and this void can’t ever be replaced I feel so lost and alone and I want to be strong for her but I feel so weak and helpless and can’t believe she is gone I just keep thinking it’s just a horrible nightmare and it will be over soon but it won’t and she is gone for ever. The grief kills. My head feels like its going to explode and does my heart.
So sorry for your loss. Don’t feel guilty (easily said then done) you was there for your mum the best you could be even if it was on the phone you tried your best and I hope you get answers to what happened soon to try and help you and your family at this time. It’s all so fresh for you and your family. The night my mum died I had Covid (I had it for a week so was trying to recover) sadly in the morning I tested and I was COVID clear but It was to late my best friend had gone and I was broken (I still am)
