Hi Tan2
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum. It wasn’t until my partner died I came to realise quite what it means and feels like.
For some time after she died my emotions ran out of control. I also experienced long periods of numbness and feeling totally disconnected from life. It was like the world continued to spin around me, whilst I stayed stuck in a place I didn’t want to be.
I hate the phrase it gets better with time. It doesn’t get better, I think we just adapt to live with the loss. And in some ways things do improve.
This forum has been a lifeline, so keep posting.
Another phrase I can’t stand is be kind to yourself. But now is a time when you really do need to take care of yourself.
Finding someone to talk with, who can listen, has been very helpful. So hope you have someone. For me the support came from people I least expected it from.
Look after yourself.
Hoping you find peace.
