Hi Sue,

So sorry for your loss, people on this forum will say you are most definitely not abnormal, From reading posts, we are all on the same path, one not chosen, and whatever you feel is normal, no right or wrong way with grief. I hug mums cardigan, one she wore on her last days. You do feel like your world has ended and life ahead seems unbearable without them. For me, being on this forum has helped together with family and friends, others say that counselling from professionals/ Cruz helps.

Do keep posting, I hope you find some comfort and understanding from the posts on here.

Take care

xx

Hi Sue. 

I'm 55 and I feel EXACTLY the same. . My mum was my best friend. . Hero. . And constant. . I have to be on this earth for my children and grandson yet I don't know how I'm going to get through this.  I honestly know ill never recover. . I don't think it's as abnormal as I thought it was. . It's agony x

My heart goes out to everyone who is dealing with the loss of a loved one. It’s nearly a month since I lost my beloved mum to bowel cancer.The grief is horrendous. Mum and me were so close too, we were best friends, liked the same programmes and had the same sense of humour. Mum was my life and I feel so lost/empty without her. If anyone wants to keep in touch, please feel free, as we all understand what we are going through and the journey we are all on x.
