Losing Mum

Firstly, my sympathies and best wishes to everyone here who has been diagnosed with cancer or has a loved one dealing with it, or has lost someone.

My mum died 7 weeks ago from metastatic triple negative breast cancer - we only found out in Nov after the original breast tumour was removed successfully in 2020. I'm an only child with my Dad having dementia and all our relatives abroad. Fortunate to have some support from my friends and family friends in the first couple of weeks. Returned to work a few weeks ago and getting things done for me & Dad, but feeling so empty and alone. Mum was a huge part of my life - no 1 on my call list (im single with no kids) - and there's a huge void now. 

Appreciate it is the grieving process but feel like there's no one to talk to about her and she's becoming the past more quickly than I expected. Sounds really silly - I want to get through the pain and move forward but keep that bond alive and struggling with that right now
