Missing my mum

My mum passed away just 10 weeks ago. Although we had suspiscions, it wasn’t diagnosed she had an aggressive tumour until just a few hours before she passed away so it was a huge shock.

Me and her were very close and I spent the last few years living with her.

I’m so lost without her. Most people think I’m doing good, but I’m really not. I cry each day, although most people don’t see. I go to her resting place each day and I have a lot of faith, but the emptiness and loneliness is horrendous.

I don’t even know the reason I’m posting on here, I’m just letting it happen and pray to God that it will get easier. It doesn’t feel like it ever will,

I pray that if you have also lost someone close that you will find peace

    Hi Paddy,

    I'm so sorry. Grief is incredibly lonely.

    If you need to cry - cry. Do whatever you need to do. 

    I lost my mum nearly two years ago now. I still think about her everyday. Some moments are harder than others, but time seems to have distanced me from that gut-wrenching pain. 

    I'm sorry you have to go through this, and I'm sorry about your mum. Sending you hugs.

    Hi Paddy,

    I'm also so sorry to hear about your loss. I understand that sometimes the loss is just so much that you just have to do something. Like post. My situation is a bit different, my mum has had a long illness over 5 years, but we've just been told the end will be soon. It's incredibly tough.

    You're not alone and things will get easier. When I'm struggling I try to remind myself how lucky I am to have had a mum that is worth loving so deeply. 

    Don't feel like you have to be strong, just live it. You'll be okay.
