My mum unexpectedly passed away 7 weeks ago, I am struggling to cope with life without her and miss her so much, just about surviving mode. Its been the longest 7 weeks of my life. I feel like I’ve took 2 steps forwards and 4 back, my partner wants to take me away at the weekend but I feel guilty for going or even thinking of going. I just dont know what to do anymore struggling to plan anything for the weekends as life is just overwhelming.

@Gem8 - so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. I lost my mum 12 weeks ago. It’s been so hard and still is so I understand how you are feeling. Be kind to yourself and take things steady.

@Granzi Im so sorry for the loss of your mum. Life just isn’t the same anymore, have you been to any grief groups or tried any grief counselling? Be kind to yourself…
@Gem8 - I don’t think there are any grief groups near me. I live in a very small village. I do work in a town so I should check there to see if there are grief groups. I haven’t had grief counselling as I was already seeing a counsellor for other reasons before my mum passed away so I am still going to see my counsellor so I am not able to have grief counselling too. This online community is helpful as everyone here understands. I just take one day at a time. I did think I was starting to feel stronger but this week has been really difficult and I have been very emotional most of the time again. Have you been to any grief groups or had grief counselling?
@Granzi I have been looking for grief groups but I also live in a village and there doesn’t seem to be much around. I have been thinking of contacting cruse but u haven’t got round to yet as Iam being referred for counselling with work. Yeah this online community is great, I have also been listening to grief podcast which seems to help too. I am sorry to hear you’re having an difficult and emotional week. I understand as one minute life feels less heavy then boom its like you’ve been hit with a tonne of bricks.
