Pain of losing my Mum

The pain is unbearable. She died 2 weeks ago and the funeral is a week on Friday... So much to sort before then... Apparently I'm being snappy, but inside it's because the pain is so great... I don't know what to do as nothing anyone can do really helps - I just want my mum back... Can't believe she's gone...  Help!

  • Hi, I am so so sorry to hear of your mums passing. 

    I lost my mum coming up to 3 weeks tomorrow. 
    we found out she had cancer in September and then 3 weeks and 4 days later she was gone. 
    We had her funeral on the Friday just gone which was beautiful for mum, however there was so so much to plan. Me and my sister didn't realise how much goes into a funeral, this was our 7th funeral we have ever been to (im 27 and she is 30) and it struck us that this was the first funeral where we needed to plan it all, that we are no longer kids. Good luck with all of your funeral preparations, I hope the day goes as easy as it can. 
    I think up until the funeral was over I had actually been in a state of numbness, I have cried but the moment I started crying it was over. Since the funeral I've actually cried and cried and cried. It now hurts and it's hard to think of mum without crying. I'm not sure what the future holds for us all, we've just got to ride this wave of grief I suppose, each wave being different from the previous and also from each others . I do hope we get to see our mums someday.

     

    Please do not worry about whether you are coming across as snappy, it's an incredibly stressful time for you and the people who are there for you will understand this right now. 

    i guess I just replied so that you know you are not alone, again I'm so sorry for your loss. 

  • Hi I'm sorry for your huge loss. I lost my mother eighteen months ago. She was my best friend and I moved in to live with her and look after her as she was failing. We spent our time chatting and going on short day trips.  I was devasted when she got sick and was in and out of hospital for three months. I never thought she would pass away I was in denial. I cried so much after she passed I was drained. I'm lost without her still and feel my world has been turned upside down. I feel alone in my life.  Now the grief is intermittent. Today was a bad day as I was at her house. Everything has changed in life. It takes time to feel ok again. So I try to be patient with myself. It's such a huge loss. We will get through this.
