Hi bunty
Sorry for your loss
I lost my mum in the same month November 24th 2024. A day that’s so etched in my memory that I’ll never ever forget. My mum was so seriously unwell and to this day I’ll never understand the way it happened.
I blamed myself for many years but I know it’s not my fault. It takes some doing forgiving yourself for something that was out of my control. I do still question what if I had done this done that enough to save my mum. She still be here to see my partners granddaughter I worship the ground she walks on. I know my mum will be looking down and seeing this beautiful little girl
Take care

Hi bunty
It’s ok. Sometimes I just wish I didn’t wake up in the morning then I can be with my mum.

Lost my mum in march and quickly had to deal with a string of birthdays- my sisters, mums (she would’ve been 90), mine, my nephew’s 21 and his graduation. I think the one that hit me was mum’s birthday - she’d been planning a party. think we we’re still processing things
