I lost my mum in April 2 years ago and it has been extremely difficult to cope with it all, it’s badly affected my mental health and i really don’t know how to cope with life or feel like I have any reason to live anymore

Hello, I’m new here so I’m hoping I’m replying correctly to your post. I’m so sorry :pensive:
I lost my Mum 1 year ago & although I feel the same about life I do have my Son & younger brother who I now look after to consider & look after. But still life’s pretty crap & my Mum was my best friend she had terminal cancer & I put my all into helping her I lost contact with allot of friends. Now she’s gone I don’t have any friends reaching out. It’s like the worlds forgot.
So I can completely sympathise with you & I know there’s nothing I can say to help. I wish there was. But I would love to hear your story more & we can chat if you like.
Look after yourself though, I know it’s easier said than done.

My mum was 44 when she died, she had Huntington’s disease, she was my best friend she knew me better than anyone and was always there when I needed to talk to someone, I ended up struggling really bad with my mental health due to watching her going down hill and deteriorating, I couldn’t cope with it, my anxiety got so bad that I was struggling so much, at 26 I ended up removed from my house and put into homeless accommodation which was really hard and affected my mental health more, I’ve had a lot of bad things happen to me since where I’ve been forced to do things I didn’t want to do, my heads never been in the right place since, I wish she was still here everyday, I was more able and comfortable talking to her about what was going on for me than I am talking to anyone else in my family about what’s going on for me, I now don’t have the kind of family I can talk to when I’m struggling, I really can’t cope anymore without her and it’s making life really difficult for me. I don’t really know anymore what to do, I don’t express myself through my words anymore I express myself through my body language and emotions now.
