I lost my mum to a terminal illness in March 2022. Ever since then my life has turned upside down. My son was 2 at the time. Now I am being evicted from her house. I am married but I am unhappy and since the day my mum died a part of me also died. I feel very lost and alone. Sometimes I feel the people you expect to hear you out don’t understand. I miss my mum so much there is never a day that goes by that I don’t think of her. I have mixed memories both good and bad. Sometimes I feel like life and everything involved gets too much for me.

Yes bad days are awful and sometimes have to just somehow believe there will be better days sometimes. I lost my mum 3o years ago and my husband not two years ago. My mum wasn’t perfect and we didn’t get on that well. But I do think of her because I am older like she was and now understand how it was for her. When I am washing up I always remember how she used to do it. Rinsing it under the tap with her fingers.
How she put on her make up and tried to do the crosswords. Her struggles and how she tried.
Oh gosh yes when you are doing all the normal things you immediately think of how they would do it.
Mine is hanging out the washing she would always do it a particular way .

To remember how they did things and doing same is like carrying the batten on in a relay. Like saying their life goes on through their descendants which is part of them
