Struggling with memories - longing and missing my mum

Coping with bereavement
1

Having a terrible evening and ive been quite strong the past few. Feel like I am going backwards and losing my mind. My mum passed away 3 weeks ago and tonight I am really really struggling with missing and longing her to come back. This usually only happens in the morning when I first wake up and its totured me all day today. Weve not even had the funeral yet as she passed on christmas day so that is all delayed.

It all happened so fast and my brain keeps throwing up random memories of when mum was okay which isnt that long ago.

It all feels so unnatural to lose her at 35. And I miss hugging her, talking to her, making me laugh so much tonight. I cant shake it. I wish my brain and my heart could rest :pensive:

Hi, I’m so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain, I lost my mum a few months ago, I have bad days, parts of days and other periods where it’s not so bad.

I hope the funeral will help you with your grief and that you have a good support network around you.

It’s good to talk to people and keep your memories of her.

Maybe speak with your GP about getting some temporary help with sleep. I’ve had anxiety and sleep issues since and found it very helpful to have medication if needed
