I miss mum my mum so much still

I'm 16 years old and my mum died just over 3 years ago. At the moment especially, it's just been so hard. I can barely make it through a single day without having a breakdown. Grappling with the knowledge that i'll never see her again feels unbearable. I feel so much grief over the fact that i'll never have an adult relationship with her, you know? She was such an intelligent, funny and beautiful person but I never fully got to appreciate that and never will.

Does this ever go away? Or at least stop feeling so bad? It just hurts so much.

  • I'm so very sorry to hear about your Mum. She sounds a wonderful person. Must be so tough losing her so young and especially in your teens, when you feel you need her the most. 

    I lost my Mum at the end of last year and it's been one of the hardest things I've been through. It’s such a painful time, so I do empathise with you. 

    There has been mention on this site that there are support groups where you can get help and counselling. Perhaps it might help if you felt you needed someone to talk to.
