Hi smiless29

So sorry about your mum passing too, it's the worst illness ever and the sooner they find a cure the better. Like you say the courage and strength that our mums gave us helps us carry on through life somehow.

And yes the same as you we used to cook together, she taught me everything I know about cooking and she made the best cakes (not that I do lol) we used to go on girly shopping trips and she was my go too about everything in life, now that part of me feels empty. I just wish I could pop round there for a cuppa and talk about my day .

One minute I think I'm okay the next it just hits you that your never going to see her again and it hurts so much. 
thank you so much for your message

Hi Aimee, I lost my mum after a diagnosis of 6 weeks before she died, it’s the worst feeling in the world, I haven’t been back to work yet and she died in March, I have had days where I have cried and cried and days where I’ve felt ok , just take each day as it comes, there’s no right or wrong feeling . I think to myself that my mum would want to be carry on with my life and not want to be so upset and cry every day. 

Hi,

I lost my mum last year, she was 57. I was 36. 

similarly she was also my best friend, my rock, the only person in the world I trusted. 

Everyone always says it, but it’s true, that you eventually learn to live with the loss. You don’t ever get over it, but you come to terms with it. The grief still comes in waves though, the loss is too big for your brain to process so it allows it in one piece at a time. Or that’s what I’ve found anyway.

In the early days all I did was relive her last days, which was distressing but as time has gone on I do now remember more of the happier memories.

Im very sorry for your loss. 

That’s so true, I never thought of it like that but the grief probably is too overwhelming to process all at once, Thankyou for your advice
