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.

  • 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

  • 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
