Hello all, my mum passed away the beginning of December after 7 years of struggling with COPD, I know she is no longer in pain or struggling to breath but it so difficult to cope. Sometimes I just feel nothing other times I just cry and don’t want to do anything! How can I be the oldest female in my family at the age of 47!

I’m so sorry for your loss @Juestew.
I lost my mum in november. Its not easy and i doubt it ever will be again. I think the only thing we can do is just try to be kind to ourselves and take it one day at a time.

@Juestew I am the only remaining member of family on my mother’s side full stop, at 42. I don’t know my biological father, he left when I was but a baby.
I lost my mother on Mother’s Day last year.
It truly is an awful time losing that person who brought you into this world. It has completely shattered me, in every way. You never will get over it, you just learn to live in a new way without that presence around.
I hate this new life without her. It doesn’t feel right.
You just have to take each day as it comes, like has been said. But it is easier said than done.
Remember my love, however alone you feel, you are never alone. Not really. You have a great community here, who will support you, like me, as much as they can.
