Tom is me and my mom's birthday

Coping with bereavement
1

Hello People,

I lost my mom on 21st Oct,2023 very suddenly no prior illness nothing just disappeared in 2 minutes. I am turning 27 tom and up until she passed away we always celebrated our birthday’s together wherever we were. I have stopped cutting the cake and even doing anything and it feels tough. A lot of emotions do pop up and it is difficult to manage those. Any help will be appreciated
