My mum died last month and the funeral isn’t until next week as there has to be an inquest. I don’t really know where to start or what i need but im having the worst week so far. My sadness is overwhelming right now and i cannot stop crying. Ive had a very difficult year with one thing or another and her death is the last straw. I don’t have any children and live far away from my sisters. Although i am 52 i am the youngest child and always been seen as the baby in the family. My dad died 18yrs ago and i suddenly have realised im an orphan. My mum had dementia and was very poorly at the end and know she is now at peace but i feel like im grieving all over again as we lost her to dementia years ago. I feel like i should be coping better but i am diagnosed with bipolar so struggle to deal with upset at the best of times. Anyway like i said i don’t really know what i want from this group but thought id try it as i feel like im losing my mind x

I’m sorry, it"s an awful feeling. I lost my mum in March and my dad 39 years ago. It is a huge shock to feel parentless but people on here really do understand. There is such a long process to go through but you will start to feel a little more able to cope and hopefully remember the good times and happier days. X

Hello. So sorry to hear about your Mum and your situation. I’m also 52 yrs old and Mum was living with Alzheimer’s for 5 years before she passed. Day by day, week by week, she was slipping away. Is really the long goodbye isn’t it. We feel like we lost Mum over and over again. I’m hoping she is at peace now also. X
