Coping with my mum’s death

I lost my wonderful mum to lung cancer in March. She was only diagnosed at the end of January. I relocated with my two toddlers to help nurse her with my sister.  My husband and I  since have since moved to a new area where I know no one. I’m finding it unbelievably hard to muster much enthusiasm for life when by the time my girls are in bed. 

Is anyone else feeling like this? Any words of wisdom? 

  • That must have been a huge shock. I'm really sorry that I can't offer you any advice as my Mum only passed away two days ago, but I'm also living in a new area where I know no one and it's horribly isolating.

    Thinking of you x

  • Hi it wears you out emotionaly does grief its not easy moving they say thats nearly as stressfull . But you know there are loads of ladies and social groups ime not being sexist in anyway but ladies are more sociable than us men and tend to like other ladies company being able to chat so when you get your emotional energy starting to come back have a look on the web ime sure there will be something wherever you live there are lots of friends you just havnt met them yet . I did when i lost my partner i just go to the walks and meals  out not for relationships but just for chats we humans are heard animals we need to be with people at times to charge up .best wishs hope you pick up soon .paul

     

  • I’m so sorry to hear that. Have you got family with you? X

  • Luckily, yes. It's so sad as I was talking to my Mum about moving back down and she was helping me apply for jobs and I would have been moving back in with her.. x
