I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum, @Snicole - that is devastating. It sounds like you are coping with so much on top of grieving your mum. You may want to connect with @Michael73, who sadly lost his mum in a hit and run in August.
You’ve asked if there are any support groups for people in your situation, so I wanted to share a few links with you:
-
Brake have a free support service if you are bereaved by a road accident. Call 0808 8000 401 or email help@brake.org.uk
-
Scard also have a helpline on 0345 123 5542. It is open 365 days a year from 9am to 9pm.
-
Support after Murder or Manslaughter (SAMM) have lots of different support options, including peer support.
-
AtALoss can help you find bereavement services and counselling in your area.
You might also want to take a look at our Online Bereavement Support, which includes Online Bereavement Counselling, our Grief Coach text service and our Grief Guide self-help platform. We have an article on sleep which you may find helpful.
There are certainly other members of our community who have lost loved ones in sudden and traumatic circumstances - hopefully someone will be along to share their thoughts.
Take good care - you are not alone.
