I’m missing my mum so much. I really don’t know how I can continue without her. It doesn’t feel like I’m living at the moment. I finding myself snapping at people which I don’t normally do. My head is a mess and I’m sleeping but I hate the mornings it feels me with so much dread and anxiety. I don’t see a future without my mum even though I want to carry on living because I have my dad, brother, sister and nieces but I still feel Alone. I feel like I can’t breathe.

Yep. That all sounds familiar to me. How long ago did you lose her? I’m just 10 weeks in and some friends are trying to organise things for the summer and I don’t want to do anything. Just want my mum. And she’s the person I’d talk to about whether to go…. So it feels even worse. No answers, just wanted to say you’re not alone and I’m just hoping it gets less heavy at some point.

Like it’s been forever.
I’m sorry your
Going through this. Sending hugs x
I’m so sorry sweetheart. I have words because I feel the same way. I’m just existing each day. It’s early days yet hun. No one expects us to be yourself straightaway. All I can suggest is be kind to yourself. Everyone grieves different. I feel like I lost a limb. Here for you to chat. It helps me also although my eyes get tired and blurred now as I have sight issues
I’m at almost at 12 weeks and a wreck

Existing is a good way of putting it. I just get through each day. I’ve stopped trying to do too much as that’s too hard. So I’m spending more time alone but at least I don’t have to pretend. I’m happy to chat too… I live alone so it helps to know people are there.

I lost my nan to dementia and it’s such a cruel illness. But they need people like yourself. However it must be very hard to cope being around illness after loss. I can’t believe it took so much of her from us. I’ve jst started to think how she was before the illness and it makes me so sad as I miss her even more.

I feel like she’s going to pop up somewhere and when I think of the future I can’t get over she won’t be there. She wouldn’t want me to be sad and that is what keeps me going. But the days don’t feel fulfilled and I just want to run to see her.im hoping this feeling is that she is there watching me as it’s so strong like she hasn’t actually gone.

Hi Bubbygirl
I’m so sorry for your loss.I know how hard it is losing your mum.Especially in the early days.Just know everything you feel is completely normal.Everyones journey through grief is different.I know it doesn’t feel like it now but things will get easier as time moves on.I think getting through all the firsts and even second Christmas,birthdays,anniversary of their death.Things feel so raw and surreal at first and you do feel completely lost.
I lost my mum just over 5 years ago i was 33.In one way things are easier now but in other ways it’s still really hard and it feels crazy that she hasn’t been in my life for over 5 years.It was strange the 5 year anniversary of her death which was the 2nd February I didn’t really struggle with it.It was just another day that’s she was gone.
Take care
