Loss of mum

Losing a parent
1

Hi all, mum passed away December 4th 2024. Thought I was doing “ok” but just feeling worse as time goes on. Apart from the typical grief emotions I’ve recently found under stress my anger/outbursts are horrendous. Is this a normal part of grief? Does anyone resonate with this? I really don’t like it, it’s like momentarily I can’t control myself and I don’t recognise myself.

Hi, I lost my mum in December 2024 too, I think part of grieving takes you through a range of emotions. I am getting stressed more easily at the moment and am ok one minute and not ok the next. I think we have to be kind to ourselves. Take care.

Thanks for your reply. The range of emotions is unreal. I think my real concern is I lost it Friday at work. Raised my voice and language was choice…(factory work, not customer facing). It’s the second time it’s happened, first time 3 days before mum passed and now Friday. Stomach is churning that I could go in tomorrow to find I have no job. I’ve been there 3 years and never lost it until the 3 days before mum passed so work must know that it’s not typical of me. Problem is once the funeral is over everybody else around you thinks everything is back to normal but that is so far from the truth
