My mum

Hi all, my mum died on the 13th of December, my son’s 8th birthday and although I lost my dad 7 years ago I’m struggling to understand my emotions this time.

I was so close to both parents and the loss is huge for me, mums passing was so quick but also very peaceful, she died at home with just her 3 children and he 2 little dogs all gathered around he in her bed. I wonder if the way she passed has given me closure, I’m miss her every minute but I’m not crying and I think I should be, I feel guilty for being sort of ok

Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way ?
