It’s been 5 weeks since I lost my beautiful mum she was just 56 years old (I’m 28) she was my best friend. She passed just 2 weeks before my wedding, and getting through that day without her was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
I miss her every single moment—her voice, her guidance, her humour, and just knowing she was there. Life feels so different now, and some days the weight of it is overwhelming. I have a great family support network around me but the pain I carry doesn’t ease at all.
Thank you for letting me share… I know many of you understand this kind of loss, and it helps to know I’m not alone.
Sophie,
I know all too well that shattering feeling, when your everything has gone.
Your beautiful mother, gone way too soon. So very sorry.
A very well done to you, for getting through your wedding, I appreciate you are broken, but your remaining family and spouse are there for you, as you enter another chapter of your life. I know how tough going and overwhelming it feels.
Life is different now, very different, as hard as it is, do all you can to see the future.
I feel your mum will be with you every step of the way where it matters. In your heart and soul, eventually growing stronger, wiser and more resilient to what life throws at you. I am a firm believer that Mother and Daughter beautiful relationships never end, the heartbreak/ache does.
Beloved Ma, only passed last month, although expected, I missed and also see her all the time. It does make me smiles. It is so sad for me, that she had to leave, however I can’t help feeling that she has gone on to better in lots of ways.
Mum had a lot of heartbreak early in her life, she was well into her 70’s and she still missed her grandmother that she lost at 14. I pine for her so much, but I understand that so many other’s have pined for her too. I can never let go as her only child, I’m just stepping aside so those lost others can get close to her once again. It does leave me feeling contented.
I am so sorry you are going through this. My dad died in July (I’m in my 30s)
Please take the time to care for yourself and celebrate your love with your partner. That’s something to be really cherished. Surround yourself with people that loved your mum
I am single and it’s hard
