Hi I haven’t really reach out on anything like this before so apologies in advance. I have recently lost my mum who I was really close to being the youngest of three.
Mum left us very sudden and I’m finding it hard to accept/come to terms with it and now trying to finish sorting the funeral it feels as I’m being dismissed or put in the corner when it comes to choices of the funeral by older siblings, but I don’t think they’re are doing it intentionally I believe it’s their way of grieving also but when brought up I get shut down again.
It feels as I have no one to talk to and I used to be a jolly bubbly individual always putting other people before myself. But now I feel angry confused helpless and the two other people I could turn to are also grieving (siblings).
my wife doesn’t really understand it and is trying to keep the house running as normal as possible for the kids
Sorry for the longs message just looking for way to come to terms with it if there is any ways
Thank you in advance
I hope you manage to have a say in the parts of the funeral that really matter to you. Your bond to your mum is deeply personal and you deserve to honour her how it feels right for you.
