Mum’s death

It’s been 6 months since my mum passed away unexpectedly in a highly traumatic circumstance.
The day before I had met her for a coffee.
I was in complete shock when it happened and in that moment my life completely changed forever.
My mum was my best friend and we had the same interests and shared the same sense of humour.
I just do not know how to do life now?
I am completely lost.
Everything that had to be done for my mum was also extremely stressful because the funeral home did things like cancel flowers and said they were getting my mum for the hospital and then decided to do it a different day. The funeral home said they could book a venue for the wake and then with 2 days to go they cancel it.
I have been left in a place of devastation and I just don’t know how to do life now.
I have lost inspiration for life, any advice welcomed.

I wanted to offer my support and sympathy as i am at the same stage in grief as you.
It’s such a surreal world now, isnt it?

I dont think theres a right/wrong way to get through this but try to be kind to yourself and on those tough days, allow yourself some time to just be. If the tears fall, then so be it. It’s ok.

Write about how you’re feeling. That may help. I have bought something called a Grief Relief Journal. It has prompts to help with organising your thought’s.

Take care :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for your reply :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I am so terribly sorry. losing a dear mother is the most heart-breaking. i miss mine constantly. all i can say is time passes anyway as it always has one must sit thought oodles of time. some time is okay and manageable some is wretched but either way it passes. then what happens is the grief lessens.

i wish you the best. it is a long road. i miss mine sorely since 2016 but the loss remains and i often still feel dead. eventually doing social activities helped, talking with new people but i miss her and my father still, terribly
