Hi

my mum died nearly six months ago. I spent months before she died grieving for her and losing my mind every now and then. When she did go I was ok after the funeral for a couple of months but now I'm finding it hard and I know it'll probably get worse. I've been signed off sick from work because I can't get up in the morning, take the kids to breakfast club and get to work without feeling stressed. I also found myself doing the usual routine but what I needed to do was cry when I woke up - because every morning my mum is the first thing I think about. Sorry to go on, I just wanted you to know that I do know what you're going through. It's horrible, our lives have changed but everything else stays the same but we need to find a new way of living without our mums.

take care and feel free to message if you want to chat x

Morning, 

the posts I've read this morning make me feel so very sad. 

I lost my beautiful Mum in September 2016. She was only 56; she died from a rare form of lymphoma, which started on her brainstem. It was heartbreakingly destroying to see her suffer the way she did. My love for her multiplied as I watched her battle with all the strength she had. I am completely distraught by her death. 

I have days where I think I'm coping but most of my days I feel completely useless. I'm currently off work too as I can't function in the morning.

Our normal has completely gone and I'm struggling to even think that I can cope without her xx 

Mum was diagnosed in May died 15th September, stage 4 breast cancer,

life was all so good for our family, mum was 11 years in remission, we were naive to think cancer has gone forever, I feel we neglected our mum, surely we could have got her checked out in Jan, maybe whilst it was a small mass, I will forever blame myself.

one minute mum was at home, all her kids sitting on the couch with tea and biscuits surrounding our rock, laughing and joking about anything, just being normal enjoy life, she was the light of our family and now the house is like a deserted building!! We have lost our precious mum and I dont know how I will go on with life without my beautiful, loving, caring , soft mum who only ever lived for her family, she battled it for 5 months in so much pain for her kids but in the end she was taken.

How I am going to cope growing old without my rock I will never know. My kids yet to go big school, college, uni and then work, all this i wanted mum to see, I wanted to see mums face when her grandsons have taken those next steps in life! Now I can only imagine what mum would have said, yes I know she would be proud but I wanted her to physically see it all.

life will never be the same! Xmas coming soon, was the best time of the year for our family, that fun has now been snatched away.

Thanks for your message. How are you now? It's an awful situation. Life just feels empty and can' make no head nor tail of it. Everything always felt better with mum around

i know how you feel i lost my mum 6 years ago it took me 5 years before i started to feel slightly better.

i am just starting to go out with my friends again for the first 5 years i barely got dressed only to go to the shop and come straight back home. i went into a very deep depression.
