Hi, I totally understand. Christmas brings about so many emotions that it can feel overwhelming. I lost mum in March and her birthday is 22nd Dec so I’m dreading that week. Like you my 6 year old daughter is such a great distraction. Sometimes when I can feel the tears coming she’ll come out with something hilarious and my sadness disappears.

Try not to panic when that feeling comes like you’re going to break down. You’re stronger than you realise. It’s not been long so don’t be hard on yourself. They were such a big part of our lives that it will take time to get used to a life without them.

It's lovely to hear that your daughter makes you smile. My 11yr old son does to, I think its healthy though for them to see us cry with our grief sometimes because we miss our mums and to show them that there is no shame in grieving your living mum. I lost my mam 5wks ago to pancreatic cancer, its really does such and I know Christmas will be hard but mam loved Christmas, there will be joy and tears but thats okay. 

Hugs to you all xxx
