I miss my mum so much

Losing a parent
1

My mum suddenly passed away 2 days before Christmas. I miss her so much it hurts . She was my best friend , I spoke to her every single day . I just don’t know what to do , I miss her so much and I feel so lost without her. I thought I was ok until I had to go clear her stuff from her house and it was awful I couldn’t stop crying. I just want my mum back :broken_heart: I know she wouldn’t want me to be sad but it’s just so hard without her

Hi there, my mum passed on 9th December. We sound very similar, in that she was my best friend, went everywhere together and spoke several times a day. I too feel lost , especially as I lived with her caring for her for the last 3 months.
You have been incredibly brave sorting her house, I just haven’t been able to face it yet. We’ve been so lucky to have someone that means so much in our lives but the thought of going on without her is unbearable. I keep telling myself to be as strong as she was when she was fighting the illness. I’ll be ok for a while then I’m overwhelmed again. I lost my Dad 7 years ago and I know things will become easier over time. Be kind to yourself and we know our mums are always by our side

I lost my mum on Mother’s Day last year it’s been a nightmare ten months, and I can’t seem to see any light in my future. My mum was my best friend, my support. Then when her dementia worsened I became her support and her carer. I think I can count on maybe two hands the days we’d been apart in my whole life. Then to suddenly be without her is devastating. The hole she’s left behind is immense.
Time is a great healer, or so I am told. I don’t think I will ever get over her loss, but maybe in time learn to live alone without her.
What I am trying to say is people grieve in different ways, grief is different for everyone. There isn’t a right or wrong way to deal with loss, you’ve shown so much strength by sorting your mother’s things I haven’t even got to that stage yet.
Remember how much your mum loved you, and how proud she’ll be of you. She’s still with you in your heart, in your mind and your memories, that’ll never leave. Take care of yourself. :heart:
