Finding support after losing my Mum

Hi there

My mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago and sadly past in March. My mum and I were really close. I lived quite far away from home, which is why I moved back home to spend as much time with her as possible. I got a note from her after she had passed, saying that I shouldn't be ashamed to ask for support and she thought it would really help me.

I'm 32 and eveb though I have friends that are more than 10 years older than I am, I am the only one to have lost a parent. I feel like no one understands me...tbh I don't really understand myself right now.

The GP put me on antidepressants, which only seem to numb any kind of emotion throughout the day. I still get quite upset during the evenings. 

I was just wondering, if anyone else had been in a similar situation? I just feel like the people I had in my life before my mum passed, just can't give me the support I need now.

Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read this.

Take care!

  • Hi I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 10 years ago when I was 33, so I can relate. I don't have anything to add to the advice the lovely people here have already said, I just wanted to add another supportive message, you are not alone and this forum has been a great comfort to me even though I just read mostly rather than posting. I have also had therapy on and off, which does help.

    Sending you lots of love xxxx

  • Thanks so much. Any kind of comforting message is so much appreciated. I am so glad to be part of this community now. The people here are truely amazing.

    Take care x
