My mum passed away in July this year , unexpectedly. Unfortunately im well versed in grief, my mum being my last older, close relative to pass. I have no siblings. Now the shock is susiding and the awfulness of the practicalities, im starting to miss her. Its such a sharp pain/ache inside. It comes at a time when people are generally expecting you to be “getting over it”. People ask me how im doing and i think to myself do you really want to know or should i just tell you im doing better.

Hi Jane,
I lost my Mum in January this year however this was my first big loss and the worst one that I will have as she was the person I loved most.
I know the shock and the lifting of it, be really gentle with yourself and keep taking one day at a time.
I would say “I’m doing as well as can be expected” to those who dont matter x
