    Everything has changed and you have to adjust to a new normal. Just know it's ok not to feel ok. I lost my mum 7 years ago. I know how hard it is. Talk to people about how you feel. I know it's hard but I wish I had done that more. Write things down if that's easier. You've got this and you're doing great. Much love to you x

    So very sorry you've lost your mum and the loss of your baby too well there are no words xx

    I know how you're feeling re guarding looking after your mum, I was my mum's full time carer for the 18 months she battled ovarian cancer. I feel like I have no purpose in my life now and people have said to me I can try and get a life, it's they're saying looking after my mum was some kind of a burden to me!!! I'd have looked after her forever if I could :(

    Hi poppy I also lost my mum four weeks ago now, we had the funeral yesterday. Mum was 49. There were over 250 people at the crematorium, that made me very proud. I am also struggling though because I don't want a new normal, I don't want a new life without her is sooooooo hard!!! I completely get how you feel....xx
