Hey, not really sure what I’m hoping to get from this. Maybe just to meet / talk to people who may be going through the same.
I was a looked after child from a young age and began contact with my birth mum again a few years back and honestly I forgave her for everything that happened and I’m so glad that I did. But what hurts the most is not even a year after us reuniting and becoming back close, I lost her ! I’m so riddled with guilt every single day, I’ve begun trauma dumping and it makes me feel so sad after.
I just wish I had more time to rekindle everything!
I can see that you’re new to the community, so I wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your mum that brings you here. I am so sorry to hear that you had so little time with your mum. Please be kind and gentle to yourself.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help right now.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.
