I lost my beautiful mum 4 weeks ago I was with mum when she passed mum had vascular dementia and the last stage was very heartbreaking.Mum last week of her life was so heartbreaking it’s still very raw but I can’t eat or sleep and am living on energy drinks and coke I can’t stop crying and questioning myself what if then a week later my mum dog passed away from what the vets say a broken heart I call the Sarmatian to night cause I want to be with my mum . Mum and skye have been cremated together as mum didn’t want to be buried but I just don’t know what to do with myself

Hello @Ellakay,

It sounds like you’re looking for support and I’m glad that you’ve been able to talk about how you’re feeling here. We know that a lot of people experience suicidal thoughts when they are grieving. We have a video about it here which you might find helpful:

Hi lovely I recently lost my mam just over 4 months ago I’m really struggling right now if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here. Everything is just so hard as my mam was my best friend the person I told everything to… Totally lost without her… I’m a couple of months ahead on this horrible rollercoaster of grief which I can’t say is getting any easier infact the opposite… maybe your mam needed her little dog with her… And to know they were together till the end is really comforting x

Hi goldengreen
Sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 3 months ago in a rta. My mum did not have a chance. Iam so angry with everyone. I miss my mum so much. I never got to say goodbye as I did not go to the funeral as I suffer from anxiety and deperssion. My mum was my world. Iam lost without her. My partner does not understand how I feel. I wish my mum was here or I was with her
