Hello John, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it can be losing a loved one, a mum, who loved you unconditionally. It’s so difficult to accept she will never console and support you like she did all your life, ever again. Our mums are irreplaceable and accepting the emptiness left by their departure is not easy, even with the passage of time. I hope you can find some peace knowing you’re not alone.

Hello. I haven’t much to offer other than a ‘Me too’. My mum died almost two years ago and I miss her so badly. As for a way forward - maybe by being here we’re doing the right thing in searching for that. Maybe grief does eventually lessen if we share with each other and get support where it’s available. Maybe life encompasses the massive loss at some point so that things seem more positive and hopeful. I don’t have any answers because it’s pretty awful, but please know that you’re not alone. Sending best wishes to you.

Hi @Johnc3

I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. It sounds as though things are a struggle at the moment and you are feeling quite lost.
