I have read some different people’s experiences with grief and I feel so connected. Unlike some of the people I have talked to I lost my mum some time ago 12 years. When people used to say to me time is a healer it gets better, I beloved them at first but then still 12 years gone by and some days I feel the grief as though it happened yesterday and I look other members of my family such as my other siblings and they are coping so much better than me so maybe time does heal depending on who you are I constantly think of mum and feel the physical loss like there’s a huge gaping hole inside me that can never be filled. I’m struggling through adulthood without a guide and i feel like I can’t do it alone, not without her. I am 33 and I was 20 when she passed. I still feel connected.

Hello @Bethanie92,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum. You’re not alone. We have a loss as a young adult section where you can connect with others who lost someone they loved at a young age. I think many of our members will understand that feeling of going through adulthood without a guide.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, too. I just wanted you to know that you’ve been heard.
