Losing my mom

Hi,
I lost my mom 3 years ago it doesn’t feel like it’s been 3 years in one way it’s seems like it only happened yesterday and other days feel like she hasn’t been here forever!
I’m a mom myself but I find myself struggling now more then ever and I wish my mom was here to help me and guide me through life! I have a loving family and a loving husband and many friends but sometimes I feel that isn’t enough!
I feel like we no longer speak about my mom because everyone gets too upset I have been feeling very low and can’t seem to shift the feeling so I thought this might help where I can speak to people who have experienced the same as me I was only 25 at the time when I lost my mom! Thinking we would have loads of time left together! I don’t want to keep feeling this way

Hello @Lauren1309,

I can see you’re new to the community, so I just wanted to thank you for so bravely reaching out. I hope you find it to be a support to you, but I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom that brings you here.

It’s good to hear that you have support from your family and friends, but it is completely understandable that that can’t replace your mom’s guidance and love. There’s no timeline to grief. You might find our page on growing around grief comforting to read.

You are not alone. You may wish to look at some of the posts in our Loss as a young adult category, where other members share their experiences of losing someone at a young age, like you.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, too. Keep reaching out and take care,

Seaneen
