This month marks a year since my mum passed . I initially thought I was coming to terms with losing my mum but for the last month or so I have become very emotional and feel I have gone backwards in my grieving process. I feel extremely lonely and emotional with Christmas coming it’s making me feel even worse .

I’m so sorry to hear about your mum.

Christmas can be a particularly tough time, and many of our members are feeling pretty apprehensive about it - you’re not alone. The community is here every day of the year, so please do keep reaching out.
