Losing mum and best friend..

Coping with bereavement
1

Hello.
I recently lost my best friend on christmas day, she was my soul mate, the one person i could speak to about absolutely anything and im struggling to cope without her, i feel so lost and alone.
I have a partner but i feel he doesnt truly understand, its like the loss of a partner, it hurts so much.
I also lost my mum when i was a teen (19) i was pregnant when she died, i never truly grieved for my mum due to having a new born baby to sort but now ive lost my best friend it feels like its double all at once!
I just dont know what to do with myself, ive had counselling in the past for my mum and it wasnt a good experience! I go running to try and help my mind but its the lonley nights i find the hardest.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your best friend, @RACHEL_XXX. It’s understandable that her loss would be bringing up feelings about your mum, too.

I’m not sure if you know, but we have a category for Losing a friend where you can chat to others who understand. It’s here if you’d like to look:

You might want to chat to @Frankie59 - what she says about her best friend in her thread here might resonate with you.

Please keep reaching out and take good care,
