Hi Anon,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am so sorry to hear of the recent loss of your mum, and offer my sincere sumpathy. It is still early days, but try to think of how your mum would want you to react to her passing. Would she have wanted you to feel so bereft and rudderless in life? I lost my mum many years ago now. The first thing I did was to find a nice photo of her, which I placed in a prominent place. I know that this may sound daft, but at first I spoke to her picture regularly. Now, after 24 years, i do so less frequently, but I still miss her every single day in life.

Your mum will still be with you on your wedding day, as she will on other special occasions, as you will always hold her in your heart. I know that this is not what you envisaged, but many of our dreams get thwarted along life's way. It is hard at first to get rid of those final memories, but try to dwell on the happier times.

Life goes on and, you will eventually come to accept her passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
Jolamine xx
