Hello Leo28,

I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.

I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.

Take care,
Rhi

Hi Leo, I’m new too. I lost my son 3 months ago. It’s really hard is it, loosing someone who you were very close to. I’m so sorry you’re struggling some days. It’s often the small things that trigger me and Im guessing it may be the same for you. Those times when something happens and you want to tell them about it as you know they would be interested. I speak to my son all the time, I’m not sure it makes it easier but it’s just what I do. Be kind to yourself, loss is very individual and affects us all differently. There is no set time limit for grieving but I feel we are both in the fairly early stages of grief. All those first anniversaries / Christmas etc we will have go through. ( my son’s 25th birthday is next week and it feels so raw when I think of it. Hope it helps being able to talk to other who are experiencing the loss of a loved one.
I’m certainly hoping it will help me. Take care Leo x

Hey Leo, it’s been 13 months since my mum left. I still cry whenever I’m reminded she loved me unconditionally. My heart goes out to you.
