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.

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 🩵🕊️
