Lost my mum and not coping

I totally understand how you feel, I too was the one who had to do all the planning and be strong for everyone else. Two things got me through my desperate days, knowing that my mum would not want me to stop living or enjoying my life and a technique given to me by a counsellor for controlling my thoughts about my mother's death particularly the really distressing visions that I found so difficult to not keep coming back to and dwelling on. i would strongly suggest you see a counsellor if you haven't already, it will really help you with your grief. I loved my mum more than anything in the world and I could not have come as far without this support. Look after yourself xx

  • Here if u need to talk I just lost my dad and I was the one same as you who did all the arrangements still can' cope or grieve months after and now my mum has been given four months due to liver and lung cancer....

  • I lost my younger sister to cancer. She was recovering but it then spread into her liver and bones.. You have done so well to take on all of that. It's now your time to let go and grieve. A counselor will be able to help you through the process and your mum would want you to look after yourself. Think about the good times with your mum. I try to remember the things my sister did well and her bubbly personality. Also, talk to your family about your feelings and what you are going through. Xxx

  • It would be nice to have someone to talk to. I am so sorry for your loss and to hear about your mother, I can’t even give advice as I am not coping myself. 

  • I am so sorry for your loss. Seek counsel and medical help as medication and talk will help you to adjust. Be well and safe.
