I lost my mum in February this year, she was 62 when she died. I was with her in hospital when she passed away. I feel a mixture of emotions and a part of me feels numb and half of myself died with her.

Hi @SMCD,
Thank you for bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. You are not alone. I’m not sure if you’ve seen our Losing a parent category. But there you can connect with other members who are living with grief after losing a parent.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support to you. In the meantime, you might find these Sue Ryder resources helpful to read.
-
Our Losing a parent page talks through some of the emotions you may be experiencing
-
Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
-
Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through
I hope you find the community to be a support to you. Take good care and keep reaching out 
Alex

@SMCD you are not alone. I lost my Mum in June. Right beside her when she took her last breath. I feel the same way. Very mixed up. Sad, angry, empty and feel like I’m in pain. Just lost. I’ve recently joined this group. I thought I was coping but I’m not. This is helping me.
Reading other people’s experiences makes me feel less alone. My friends and family are brilliant and supportive but all they see is me hurting. I’m finding talking to strangers easier. Someone that’s walking in my shoes.
