This is all very raw as I lost my mum suddenly last week. It was a huge shock and she wasn’t poorly. In fact was living her best life but unfortunately I got a call Monday morning with awful news. I have had to deal with this which I am struggling with immensely. Me and my sister were so close to her and it’s really hit my 16 year old daughter who was so close to her also.
I just don’t know how to cope how to carry on as ‘normal’ because she’s not here… she was my rock… my best friend and I just can’t see how I can get through each day and be ok. I never thought I’d be writing this let alone typing on a post but I need help I need support.

Hi. I’m sorry this has just happened to you. I went through a similar thing a few months ago where my mum suddenly passed. I can’t offer any advice that will be of use but I do want you to know you are not the only one going through this and this site is really helpful.
