My mum passed away today

My lovely Mum lost her battle to stomach cancer today. 

She had been in a coma for 4 days so we knew it was coming, but it didn't make it any easier. I just don't know how to feel! I love my mum so much, and we've been close for my entire life. I'm only 22 and she never got to see me do so many things.

When will it sink in that she's gone forever? Part of me doesn't believe that she's gone.

    Sad news Lucy, the important thing is to take your time and grieve over your loss, nobody knows for sure whether it's best to be alone at this time or with others to help you through it, you have to do what's best for you and what you feel most comfortable with. I lost a loved one in early June of this year and can personally say that time really is a great healer and you learn to live and smile again with the wonderful memories you made together. These memories never fade and become even more special with time. Take care.
