Dear Jonathan25
My heart goes out to you. You sound very much like my son who at 38 lives at home with me. Your mum obviously was very very special and your lost without her. You, are however young. Please don’t push people away, do you have family to turn to? If not you can join a bereavement group. They are not all old people! Go to see your GP, they can help you, maybe with counselling. If you are religious you could speak to a priest, rabbi or iman, depending on your faith. Please try to eat. I’m sure your mum would have not wanted you to not eat. If you want to pls message me privately. Please reach out to someone, grief is awful enough don’t walk it alone. Take care of yourself. One day you will learn to live with the grief whilst always loving your dear mum, stay safe

our mothers are our protectors. fathers too. when they leave, we are in the world alone and it is very hard. I have done it. people do come to your side.
the right ones do. counseling helped me a lot. I would not make it without it.
and I was an only child. life rattles on. you will be okay. but it is hard. go easy on yourself. find comforting groups comforting types. be on your own when you need. lots of people have experienced this loss and they know.
p.s. we do sort of go insane in a way. really do find some professional who attend to the forlorn.
Hi thank you for the response I have been to the doctors and a therapist I feel so lost In life my family don’t understand
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your reply. Nobody understands you because nobody can understand your grief. It’s personal to you and only you know how you feel. Do you have support from friends and family? Do you feel able to speak to anyone about how you feel? My advice and I’m grieving a partner from an horrendous cancer death is don’t go it alone. We all need somebody to talk to. I understand your pain, you loved your mum, that is evident. It’s a tremendous loss. Please try to focus and get support. I’m here if you need to reach out. We can help each other. xxx
