Hello there.
I’m Claire. I’m 12 years down the line after losing my beautiful mum. She was never over affectionate - not many I love you’s or big cuddles. But I knew how much she loved me and I loved her. She is my first and last thought of each and every day.
Then I lost her brother, my uncle, in November just gone.
They were both amazing people and the void is huge.
I feel so sad about life in general. How we love and have to lose.
If anyone would like a chat I’m here with understanding xxx

Hello. I lost my Mum 2 years ago, like yours Mum wasnt overly affectionate but i know she loved me dearly. I lived with her all my life (I’m 54 now) and I miss her everyday. Life is a real struggle and I’m not sure how much more I can take. Our mothers teach us so much but they cant teach us how to survive in a world that they aren’t in any more. I feel weak for not coping and I do try. I get up each day and go to work but I struggle. I’m so sorry for your loss too xx

Hi Doreen. Thanks for messaging. Lovely to chat with you. You’re so true - they teach us everything but not how to live without them. You’re probably sick of hearing the words ‘stay strong’ etc. Because sometimes being strong is exhausting! But then we never know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have.
You’re doing your best Doreen. Your mum is proud of you - and I’m sure she is still with you everyday. It’s easy to say but please don’t give up. 2 years is very early in grief. I’m 12 years and I think it’s only been in the last few years that I have accepted my loss. It still hurts but it’s a lot easier. Always here love if you need a chat xxx
Hello Claire, i lost my mum September 2024 (19 weeks today) and the pain is so raw and deep. So much to process still, yet at the same time the loss of her just doesnt seem real.
I never knew how much grief could change everything 
Hi , I just lost my mum 2 days before Christmas. I feel so lost and helpless and sad and it feels like no one understands what I’m going through . It feels like a part of me died when she died. I know she wouldn’t want me to be sad but it’s just so hard for me. My brothers seem to be handling it better than i am so i feel so alone in this
