I miss my mum so much

I've posted a few times on here, but a little background: my mum passed away on the 31st March 2021, 7 weeks after diagnosis from bowel cancer, she was only 55.

I miss my mum so much. That feeling of emptiness never seems to go away. I think of my mum constantly, literally all the time, it consumes my mind, to the extent I feel like I am going crazy. 
 

At the same time, I still feel the worst part of my grief is yet to come. Don't get me wrong, I do cry. But I feel like it's not as much as I would've anticipated prior to losing my mum. I feel it's the calm before the storm. I'm currently in survival mode. 
I'm petrified when it does finally hit. I won't survive. Because the pain I am feeling currently, is unbearable within itself. 
 

It's just so hard. It's been nearly 3 months. 1/4 of a year. But I'm stuck in this limbo, this pain. I can't seem to move forward. 
 

I feel like nothing will make this better. The only thing that can make this better is my mum, and sadly she will never be able to make it better. 
 

I just can't believe she's gone. How am I meant to live the rest of my life without her? I'm only in my 20's. 
 

I miss her so much.

  • I feel the same as you all.  I feel I not only lost my mum, best friend,  and soul mate but I also lost the place that was my home & refuge. I do feel quite suicidal at times especially if I'm drunk so I'm trying to be careful with drinking. Thing is,  I don't want to die I just want mum back here, alive and healthy. MND ravaged my gorgeous mum and made her suffer.. but why?! I feel so so angry sometimes! I could have had her for much longer and I really really need her. I don't understand why life has to contain so much pain for some. I am trying some days when i can manage to function but behind any laugh or smile I can muster is heartbreak and a feeling of desolation inside.
