Help with grief, struggling without my mum

I lost my beautiful mum 3weeks ago now. I stayed so strong for her all way through and towards the end. It wasn't pleasant what my mum went through as she was in a hell of a lot of pain, I wanted it to be so peaceful and calming for her, it was eventually in the very end but it was hurrendous for her just before she passed. I tend to think a lot about if or how I could have done anything different so she wasn't in any pain, and seeing her in so much pain is always in my mind, I just wish I could focus on happy memories. I thought I was coping quite well, but the grief is starting to hit me properly now, and I don't know how to deal with it and what the right or wrong way is. I feel like I just constantly need to be on my own in peace, it's like I don't want to come to terms with losing my mum and I don't want to talk about it. I am not a confident person whatsoever and really struggle to open up and talk to people. How do you cope with losing someone so special and dear to your heart? I just feel like I can't go on without her.

  • Hey [@Asmit88]‍ 

    Its really lovely to hear from you, and I am very happy that therapy has been a weight off your shoulders, I'm sure your mum will be so proud of the steps you're taking to make yourself feel better! It's nice to talk to someone without judgement isn't it?

    I'm doing okay, somedays are definately better than others right now. I'm speaking to a therapist too which is helping but I just am finding this forum, and speaking to people who are unfortunately way too young to have lost a parent a huge comfort, as it feels very isolating as many people cannot relate to how I am feeling. Have you found that? 

    Keep taking small steps forward, sending you lots of love and if you ever want to chat, rant or anything at all, please message me. Lots of love XXXX
