Hello kmsmith and welcome to our forum.

I'm sorry to hear about your mum and that you still find it hard to cope with her loss. 

Grief is a very individual journey, there is no right and wrong way to feel it so try to go easy on yourself. I'm glad to hear that you are having fortnight counselling chats as talking does seem to help and I hope you will get to chat with some of our members here who have gone through the same experience.

Until then though there are two links I want to share with you and I hope they will be of help, the first is about coping with grief and the other one is about a platform similar to this one, called riprap that helps teenagers who have lost a parent to cancer.

Stay strong, kmsmith and remember we are here for you whenever you need someone to listen.

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
