Hi moonlight. I'm so sorry about your mum. I understand your pain as my mum passed in the exact same circumstances on December 7th. We had been so careful all year and then when she had to go to hospital she caught it there. I'm so sad and angry and it all seems so very unfair for my lovely mum to be taken this way. I'm sorry you are experiencing this too, it really is heartbreaking. We didn't get to say goodbye either. 

I did find it helpful visiting mum in the chapel of rest at the funeral home prior to her funeral, it helped feel like I could say goodbye. I have a little girl and she and her cousins wrote letters and drew pictures to go in with her which I think helped them, and we also put in pictures and things she liked. We did need to specifically ask to be able to visit and the casket needed to be closed, but just to make you aware it is possible, if it's something you would find helpful. 

I also understand how you feel about the fireworks, it's such a sad time to lose your mum 

Sorry also to the others here who have lost loved ones in such terrible circumstances and been robbed of more time together

Sending love your way. Don't think too far ahead, just take it day by day for now

You're so lovely Thankyou ️ ️
