I lost mum in June and my sister and myself cared for her for 3 years prior to her death, spoke to her every day, text her and every Saturday we would have a girly day or evening and the void is massive, I have been on the go non stop from working extra hours or doing DIY , decorating just because once I stop it hits hard how much I miss the small things and reality sets in. I’m sure many will resonate, what are doing for coping mechanisms?

Hi there. I lost my mum in May this year. Never have I had to deal with anything so difficult. I lost my dad many years ago, but still had mum after he passed for a further 22 years. It is so very difficult to move forward, but my pain is getting a little more bearable, but still really hard. I keep myself busy most of the time with work. But I am reading a lot of books on grief, that seems to help me. I talk to her, as if she is around (because I’m pretty sure they are around us and know what is going on). I’ve also looked at quite a few videos on Youtube as well about the afterlife, some good medium videos on there as well, which seem to give some comfort. Take care; no easy way around our grief. xxx

Thank you! I’m sorry for your loss and I’m glad that you are finding coping mechanisms 
If you could possibly recommend who to watch on YouTube as it’s something that I have looked at but there’s a lot of cranks that just anger me as it feels like they are exploiting people’s grief
I saw a good one “Death Explained” (37 mins)
