Lost my mum suddenly

Last month I lost my mum suddenly to cancer. She was diagnosed and told she could have an operation to remove it. Then a month later told she couldn’t have any treatment (she want the healthiest) because they wouldn’t do any good, then 3 months after that she died! I am at a total loss! I don’t even know how to begin processing it. I’ve had anxiety for at least 10 years and this has really played it up. I’m mainly living in bed. She was my safety net, like the ones tightrope walkers use. You don’t necessarily use it but it’s good to know it’s there if things get worse, and now it’s gone. I’m really not coping

So sorry to hear of your loss Tallulah1. It is still so soon, no surprise that your grief is so raw. Try to be kind to yourself (undoubtedly what your mum would want) and take time and space.
I say this having no idea what you are feeling because everyone experiences grief differently, but knowing what I felt and still feel after loosing my mum suddenly in 2018.
