I lost my mother unexpectedly at the end of 2024, I am now 27, but finding it so hard to talk to anybody about it as they don’t seem to understand how hard it is trying to navigate a life I never imagined that came out of nowhere, it’s so isolating, I am the strong one with my family but it feels as though life goes on for everybody which I expect but it’s hard that people don’t check in anymore

I’m so sorry that you lost your Mother unexpectedly. I know that must be very hard for you. My Mom died in 1991 from emphysema and my husband died in 2024 from lung cancer and both have been very hard on me. But when a death is unexpected, it is much worse for those left behind. One thing that has helped me is the belief that my husband is up in Heaven and eventually in God’s time we will be reunited in Heaven. Your Mother is up in Heaven also and you will be with her in Heaven one day. After all Jesus told us that, “I go to perpare a place for you.” and he did. But it’s hard being without our loved ones. I understand what you said about people not communicating with you anymore as they did at first. I experienced the same thing. Some of it is they are busy and often uncomfortable around the subject of a death. I just asked God to help me get through this time and he has. Just talk to God like he’s your best friend and he is! Be grateful that you have a family. Many people don’t. I’m 79 and my husband was my family and now he’s gone. I have a son but he hasn’t spoken to me in 20 years. Also you are only 27. You have a wonderful future ahead of you full of all kinds of good adventures and employment. Your Mother would have wanted that for you. If you need to talk, I have time to listen. Things will get easier for you in time.
I’ll say a prayer for you. I wish you the best and Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate your response. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you without your husband and with no contact from your son, I hope there is something or somebody that helps you through this holiday season. Merry Christmas and take care.
