Hi @Holly3,

Thank you for bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum and your relationship ending. You are not alone. I’m not sure if you’ve seen our Losing a parent category. But there you can connect with other members who are living with grief after losing a parent.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support to you. In the meantime, you might find these Sue Ryder resources helpful to read.

I hope you find the community to be a support to you. Take good care and keep reaching out :blue_heart:

Alex

Thinking of you Holly. It’s hard when your life changes in this way. I hope you can move forward soon and I’m sure you will have lovely memories of your mum that you can hold on to. After losing my dad I realise how much he offered me guidance and I miss him. Fortunately I do have lots of happy memories to look back on

You will get through it. It won’t seem like it yet. Time is a healer. Make sure that you are taking good care of yourself - eating, going for walk. When I couldn’t eat in the initial days, I took some vitamins to keep my body healthy. Sending a big hug.

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. The pain of it is naturally very intense for you right now, but it does help to talk about it. Getting other people’s understanding, sympathy and advice is helpful. So while it’s raw, use this site to communicate, then when the pain eases a bit open up to your friends and family too. You could also try writing letters to your mum. But let the tears flow, you are going through a difficult time.

Remember to look after yourself - eat, sleep, fresh air and exercise. You will get through this. All the best.

So sorry Holly, you must be devastated, Terrible that your partner chose this time to end your relationship. I lost my mum 23 years ago, she’d been ill for a while but the loss was terrible. I had the support of my partner who passed 2 months ago. You will be able to talk about your loss in time. Just go at your own pace.
