Hi love, losing your Mum is so painful and the grief washes over you in waves, life seems a struggle and no one else feels the loss like you.  This has also happened so quickly, a few weeks of horrible pain and then relief but a great loss.  My Mum died from dementia and the last year was vile but at least I had time to come to terms with it slowly, poor you, its happened so quickly.  All I can tell you is that it's your grief and you have to cope, but you're not alone, lots of us on this forum have lost loved ones, we support each other, listen. Help if we can and always reply.  The main problem is the way Mum died, so try to focus on the good times, get a lovely photo of her and put it in a pretty frame, talk to it, kiss her, tell her how sad you are, speak out loud so it's out of your head, this is what I did, it truly helps.  So post again if you need, we will always listen to you and you can say anything you need to.  Big hugs your way,  Carol x

Hi Audconn, very sorry to read you lost your mum, I haven't got any magic words that can take away your sadness, only to say, after losing my mum last September, I know about the good and bad moments. It's such a cruel disease, cancer ; and to watch someone you love so much suffer breaks you.

Like Dor06, I have photo's of mum and I speak out loud, today I said thank you for being the best mum in the world and I love you so much. One thing is certain, our mum's wouldn't want us to feel such overwhelming sadness, ....I'm sitting next to patio doors in the kitchen....a robin just flew and settled on the chair outside, that's my mum telling me "not to worry", she always said that, maybe our mum's are still with us, in spirit?

Such a short time has passed since you lost your mum, I'm so sorry for your loss and hope that the pain over time will ease and that you have family for support. The grief is just the hardest thing to go through, sounds silly thing to say but look after yourself, I didn't even want to eat, had no appetite, nothing seemed worth doing. It's just a day at a time or an hour at a time.

Sending warm wishes, thinking of you.

Take care

Hi Carol

many thanks for replying and for your words of support.  I put mums picture in a frame today at the side of my bed so I can speak to her first thing in morning and last thing at night.  It’s all very raw at the moment and I know people say time is a healer- I really hope so.

love Audrey x

Hi love, it will always be a loss, good Mum's are greatly missed but time moves on, life takes hold and although you will miss and love her forever it does get better.  I'm so pleased you took my advice, remember all the good times, the horrible ones will fade in time.  Big hugs,  Carol
