My mum died and I can't cope with the loss

My mum died of liver cancer 9 months ago. I find each day unbearable and find it harder and harder. I can't sleep at night and break down all the time. I miss her so much and my life feels so empty without her. I have two children and I continue for their sake otherwise I wouldn't have the will to get out of bed each day as I feel so down. 

Does it get easier? because right now, it feels awful.

I keep thinking I need to tell mum this and remember she's gone and breakdown. I see people with their mothers and I envy them.

I feel so alone and helpless. Feel like part of me has died too and I struggle to get back up again.

    I lost my mum exactly 2 months ago, so I know how you feel. My mum and I were very close. And I wish she could call me again. My mum was only 47. I know that age doesn't matter because we will miss our loved ones no matter if they are 47 or 97 ... 
    I was told that it does get easier. I don't know when or how it will happen. But most probably it is different for everyone. 
    I keep saying that I have my good days and my bad days. There are days when I smile, but then there are days when I cry myself to sleep. 

    If you ever feel like you want to talk to someone, you can message me. I am not the best advice giver.. but I can try. 
    For now, please, stay strong and take care of yourself! x
