I lost my mum on 8th May this year. I feel like there is a gaping hole in my life. I spoke to her every day and I miss her so much. she was my hero, my best friend, my confidant, my support, she loved me unconditionally and it physically hurts my heart without her. I feel like I’m on autopilot just going through the motions of each day, how do I learn to live in this world without her in it

So sorry for your loss. I lost my mum aged 90, three months ago (middle of May). I didn’t know how I would survive. She was everything. Lived with her all my life. There’s no easy way. Just have to get through hour by hour, day by day. I’m on my own which is incredibly tough, and managed all the funeral and “sadmin” myself. Hope you have some support from family and friends. I’ve been reading a lot of books on grief, afterlife, etc. It’s so good to talk about her if you can. Cry, scream, whatever helps you through the day. I talk to mum around the house, even though she’s not here (sounds stupid, but gets me through). I visit her grave most days. Sending you hugs. xx
