It happened today , my mum died. I have dreaded this for so many years, and today it happened.
Am I ok? I think so.
Will it hit me later? I don’t know. My dad is 96, he has known mum since school. It’s just all very weird, but I feel very blessed.

So sorry for the loss of your mum 
Grief is a long rollercoaster of emotions. It’s early days for you but everyone on here understands your pain and will be here for you, while many outside of here will never truly understand until they too suffer such a loss.
Look after yourself, and your dad.

Hello there,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I am two months in from losing my beautiful dad. He was 88 and an absolute inspiration. I have spend many times in the past dreading the thought of losing my parents and the pain and sadness is overwhelming at times. I have been focusing a lot on supporting my mom, but when I go back home it hits me more and more. I know it will take time and that I must sit in the discomfort of grief. This is life and I have been blessed to get into my early 60’s without losing a member of my family. Life as we have known it will never be the same, but we have to carry on and cherish dad’s memory. Thinking of you.
