I miss my mum so much it hurts

I lost my mum 3 years ago now and March would have been her birthday, every year now when this month rolls around, I feel a big black cloud descend and each year it gets harder.

the grief is all consuming, some days it takes my breath away. To the outside world, I look like I’m coping but I’m not. I Have a little boy who’s nearly 4, he was 9 months old when my mum died so I had no choice but to get on with it, I had to survive. I feel so much sadness that she’s not here to see my little boy grow, I feel anger that that was taken from us and from her, people say to me, oh she’s with you, she watches over you both and I know they mean well but I dont want her to be watching over us, I want her to be here with us. 

the thought of living the rest of my life without her is so overwhelming and it feels so unfair and I feel so lonely.

  • I'm really sorry to hear how you are feeling.  I wish I could say something that would make you feel better but I don't suppose I can ..

    However I do knw that others have found the following useful :

    joining a peer support group at somewhere like Cruse

    creating a memory box for the child / grandchild left behind

    medication 

    keeping especially busy with the things they enjoy doing

    Exercise

    Would any of these help?

    Let us know how you get on.

    All the best
