The Day After Mum’s Funeral - Advice to help cope?

It's the morning after my Mum's funeral, and I have this overwhelming feeling of sadness, thinking everything over and over. 

I posted about my Mums battle with secondary breast cancer, 18 years since her very first diagnosis - www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../my-mum-has-been-diagnosed-with-secondary-breast-cancer

Sadly she deteriorated at the beginning of October, and we held a lovely service for her yesterday with her closest friends and family members. 

I'm feeling so lost and hurt, I know that it's the most painful thing for anyone at any age, but I can't help going over the feeling in my head that I'm far too young to lose my mum in my early 30s. I have comfort knowing my Mum achieved everything she ever wanted and being a grandmother to my older siblings children, though I struggling to come to terms with the milestone to come that I experience without her with me, and the overwhelming feeling of missing her daily. 

Any advice, or similar stories to share would be a major help for me to cope.

  • Hi Ben I am so sorry for the loss of your mum. my mum sadly passed on the 17th of this month and her funeral was on Wednesday the 28th two of the hardest days of my life and I've never felt pain like this but I know my mum is in a much better place and is watching over me and my family which gives me the greatest comfort. I do believe time is a healer and I know we all find the strength to stay strong, you're mum will always be with you hold onto the memories and the good times you had with her and please remember your not alone.
