I lost my Mum a few weeks ago. I feel completely drained and that everything is an effort. Does anyone else feel like that?
Hello Joanne.
I lost my mum 7 months ago. My heart is broken and I have days when everything grinds to a halt and I cannot function at all.
Its taking one step at a time that’s all that we can do.
There’s no rule book, some days are easier, some are awful.
I send you my support and a hug.
Phoebe.

Hi @Joanne83 ,
I am 7 months too, THE most painful 7 months of my entire life!
, I honestly can’t see an end to it, I miss her soo soo much, still tears daily
I honestly didn’t think it would be this painful, oddly as it sounds I thought I would be peaceful about her passing ( I can’t say the D word), because for around 2 years before passed she used to tell me nigh on daily she was ready to go!, she used to say, ‘oh lass, don’t get old, its not pleasant’, each time I would say to her, ‘well mother, it’s way better than the alternative’
I was with her when she passed & to be honest it still haunts me, I feel as if I’m in turmoil with my thoughts & feelings ,I had a melt down yesterday over a bunch of bloody daffodils in Aldi, simply because I used to buy them for my mam, last week it was a bottle of albas oil, another time was kleenex bloody tissues, all the things I used to get her!
I am 64 years old for crying out loud, but everyone needs their mam from time to time
She was THE most amazing person & I miss her terribly
Sorry, not sorry for being a miserable so & so, but the pain is still very raw
Big hugs

Hello
Love your photo x
I do that too, walking round the supermarket, thinking must get mum some butter (not spread god forbid !), and then I remember.
I was with my mum when she passed (can’t do the D word either).
She was firing on all cylinders and planning to live to get her royal telegram, until she had a fall.
6 months later she left me, and left behind…
Every day is one step at a time.
We loved our mum’s and heartbreak is ours for that.
Nothing can take away the love we have for them and our memories, it’s the time we need to bear our loss.
Thankfully we are all here for each other
Xxxx

Hi Dandy.
Sending you a hug and my support. I am sorry for your loss and the troubling times you are in. I know my own heartbreak at the loss of my mum and trying to deal with existing, and it isn’t easy. Keep reaching out on here, it has helped me to be able to connect and share .
Take each day as it comes and try to look after yourself, one step at at time.

Hi i lost my mum just before christmas and i feel dreadful everyday. One thing i tell myself everyday is, as long as i get out of bed and put one foot infront of the other then i am winning. Being honest, we never get over losing our mums, it hurts so bad. But please just be kind to yourself xx
