I am so sorry. My wonderful Mum died today and I feel the exact same as you.

Not sure what else to say except that you are not alone x

What else can we say, we both know how terrible this feels.

But we are definitely not alone. Maybe our mums have met up already, who knows

Dont feel guilty we do what we can we are not drs your not alone we do our best and i bet your mum knew that thats all we can do just keep that rotton false guilt feel away as soon as it creeps in and it does tell yourself what you did i bet theres so much you did do it does make the guilt feelings less . Sorry about your mum i know its horrid stick with your family you draw strengh from one another .paul

I love that idea! Either way, they still live on in everything we do, so we just have to make them proud and remember that they won't want us to live our lives in pain, even though it hurts so, so much right now.

You're not alone, we're in this together x

How are you holding up? It'll be 2 weeks since my Mum passed on Friday. Missing her so much already 

Hey, I'm sort of okay, thanks for asking. I feel numb and sad and shocked and in denial but I had a really good day today, I spent time with my mum's sisters and we sat outside in the garden drinking tea, enjoying the sun and swapping stories. My aunt came over tonight because I didn't want to be alone and we binge-watched Gavin and Stacey, seasons one and two!

It sounds silly saying "I can't imagine how you're feeling" because, obviously, I can, but I was wondering if it's any different 2 weeks later, like does the shock wear off suddenly or slowly... How are you doing? X

Hey, how are you holding up?

It's been 3 weeks today since my mum passed and I'm still in that numb/shock state. I always imagined I'd be hysterical, crying constantly,  or not eating or leaving the house but It isn't like that. The biggest way it's affecting me right now is lack of sleep.

It's strange but I cried more leading up to mums passing away.

Hi,

I'm so sorry to read about losing your mum at such a young age. It's so hard. My dad died 21 years ago aged 53 of a massive heart attack whilst in remission from cancer. I say remission but it wasnt. He was told he had an 80 percent chance of the cancer returning and no options for treatment if it did. I believe the stress of those odds plus the toll on his body caused his death.

11 weeks ago today I lost my mum suddenly. Although she was older than your mum at 74, I feel so robbed. She was so active and funny,my absolute best friend. I'm absolutely lost and the passing of time is actually making things worse not better.

I'm pleased that you are having some good days in amongst the bad.i havent had one yet but wish I could as mum would be heartbroken to see me so sad.

I almost feel like I'm stopping myself being happy because the moment I do I will have lost her.

Clearly lots of us with horrible summers and 2019 in general.

Take care x

Aw bless you. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure she is at peace now and I hope you have a lot of support around you. Being there every day shows what a strong and loving person you are you should be proud of yourself
