My Mum died suddenly in her sleep last night at about 1am my Brother rang to tell me I spoke to her that night she said to stop worrying she is on and not going to die but she did. I’m beyond devastated and feel so lost I was trying to get back to Victoria to be with her and didn’t make it in time. I feel so sad, guilty, lost and hurt. There is a massive void that will never fill I would talk to her daily several times a day and now that’s gone to she was only 72 and thought she had a while left. I have the worst headache and broken heart. I’m glad she went painless in her sleep though but there will never be any answers. Now I have to try and organise my first funeral and of my Mother at that. I don’t know where to begin I have cried a river of tears. I was moving back to Victoria to be with her but didn’t make it in time. The devastation is hard to overcome and not hearing her voice. We were very close I spoke to her multiple times a day. The loss feels unbearable.

I think we all miss our mum’s and the words of wisdom she gave me. I do miss that so much, mum always understood. But I was losing her rapidly and those chats came less frequent.
