lost my mum a little over a month after starting a new relationship. was ehxitent to tell my mum about it as even tho i feel like this is my soulmate and we will be together for a long long time, it still felt quite soon and i wasn’t ready to tell her.
she did however have a feeling i was with someone, as she was suspicious of all the late night calls. i also found out recently she had told her friend about how she had a feeling she was finally a mother-in-law and was so so happy about it.
i just feel so guilty i never told her. and i’m so sad my mum will never meet my incredible girlfriend and my girlfriend will never meet my crazy mum. they would’ve gotten along so well and i’m so sad i will never get to see their dynamic together.

Hi @clara20,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mum.
It’s completely normal to feel this way when you’re grieving and to reflect on what you may or may not have done/said.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share these links with you to help you with your grief.

I lost my mum earlier this year, and I was so lucky for her to have met my partner & his family it was just once & I am so sorry you didn’t get to have this moment.
I would definitely talk to your mum & tell her how you feel, mums always listen, even when they aren’t physically here, they are always with us.
She would be cheering you on & from what you posted seems like she is totally and utterly happy for you!
Keep her memory alive & talk about her with your partner, allow yourself to think ‘what would mum say about this’
Sending you a big hug x
