Hi Atlas
Sorry that you find yourself here - and for the loss of your dear Mum. It doesn't matter how long we have had to prepare...it's always a horrid shock when cancer takes one of our loved ones away xxx
The world will feel very strange for a little while but it does get better as time goes on. You mention your Mum's laugh, smile and adventure...sounds like she was an amazing person. There will come a time when this won't hurt as much...the pain won't be unbearable as it sometimes may feel now. Like you say...time takes care of that. You will likely always miss your Mum but you will heal and will be able to think of her and feel joy in your heart.
Thinking of you. Please do come back here if you ever want to chat xxx
So sorry for your loss ️ sending you healing thoughts x
