Losing a mother

I will soon be completing the sale of my late mum’s house which was also my childhood home. I am 57. I don’t know how I will react closing the door on it for the last time. Should I distract myself that day or simply let the tears flow?

I know how you feel, I’m dreading that moment. I’m a similar age and her house was her home for all my life. I’d like to move in but not sure I can afford to buy it. Do what feels right for you, i distracted myself when mum 1st died and it came back to bite me later.

Thank you very much. My thoughts are also with you. Be kind to yourself. I have found that taking lots of photos of the house has helped and keeping photos of myself and other family members in the house as it was so memories are kept alive. Take care.
