Marg3 I’m so sorry and having lost my mother - also my best friend - at end October I know exactly what you mean. I’m keeping going as she would expect me to (having cared for me all my life she would tell me not to waste the time I have) and while I’m still just going through the motions, I find a walk in sunshine in green places does help a very little bit. I also talk to her all the time which I also find helps a little bit. I’m hoping that eventually things will improve and hoping that by keeping moving I will eventually get my head above water. It may or may not work - but I think it has to be better to keep moving. Just my take - you need to do want works for you - but hang on in there as I am trying to do and virtual hug.

I feel your pain so deeply. I lost my beautiful mum yesterday after a short health decline. We were called to be with her in hospital and spent 4 very special hours holding her hand and telling her how much we love her. I don’t know how myself and my brother, out partners and children are going to get through the next few months but I’m hoping the love we all had for mum will help us get there. Please be kind to yourself , it’s helping me to know how lucky I am to have been blessed with so much love from my mum x

I lost my in 2021, she was just 60. At the time I couldn’t envisage a life without her. I couldnt think about next week, next month, next year because how could I when she wouldnt in it. I just had to think about getting through the next 30 mins, and then the next day etc. I promise you there is light at the end of the tunnel and you learn to live with the pain. Even now I have bad days, but when I look back at the time when I didn’t think I could live without her I can see how far I’ve come. Still hurts like hell. Sending lots of strength and peace to you x
