My best friend beautiful mum died last year... Im trying to be strong for the sake of  my children and my  dad.. 

However I'm struggling without my beautiful mum.. I miss her so much and the void loss is a constant pain... I was so lucky to have an amazing mum who I spoke and seen her every day... Which makes the pain and grief so hard...I will never ever have her loving arms hugs and love advice and unconditional love which I took for granted... I just want my mum back and I feel so loss and just want this pain sadnees to end... However I trying to be strong for my kids and love them and be there for them however i feel sad every day crying always when I'm on my own..

 

I'm not on any medication but my dad has said I should go doctors to help through this... But I really don't want pills... So I'm I'm in delamima.. Anyone else been in same situation and offer advice xxx

    Hi. I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain, a year on. I have read about something called "complicated grief".  If it's interfering with your day to day life, maybe some help would be good. Not necessarily pills though, if you aren't wanting that. But maybe something like grief counselling or support groups. It sounds like your mom was everything to you, and I can really understand how horrible it must have been to lose her. Sending you my warmest wishes and really hope that something comes along for you to help ease the pain.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m in exactly the same situation and I feel broken all the time, you aren’t alone if that helps at all. Sending you love and strength x
