Can't bear my loss

I was Mum's sole carer and I cant get over her sudden loss. I cry hard very day and stay in bed mostly. I go over every small argument we had or negative thing i said without thinking though we always made up. I just dont think i was good enough. I dont want to live on ive tried for over 1 1/2 years but if anything things are worse. The rest of the family have their own familys and didnt see her much but theyre ok because when they occasionally did it was all pleasant. They asked about her estate right away and i wouldnt take a penny.One also critized the house for smelling saying the commode wasnt emptied the day they visited. I started to realise i hadnt done enough for mum and its killing me. We didnt have a good day the day it happened and i go over and over it. None of them have contqcted me since. I just want to be with mum to say all the things i never said.

  • Dear Lyndsy10, you must contact  your GP or call the Samaritans as you are obviously extremely depressed and still grieving for the loss of your Mum.  This is not a normal way to be and its awful that everyone has abandoned you to your distress and have given no sympathy.  Many think that after a few weeks you will be over it but in your case it seems Mum was your reason to get up and help each day and you have left yourself bereft as it has isolated you from everyone else.  Lots of others will help you on this forum and offer love and advice so it's good that you know you need help and this has been the first step in seeking help.  One of our Moderators will pop on and probably give you phone numbers and websites that will help, we also have nurses on this site who you can talk to.  Please, please seek some help.  Thinking of you and sending a hug your way, we all need help sometimes.  Carol x

    Thank you so much for reply. I am isolated. Mum was /is everything to me and we got on well almost all of the time bur i cant stop the negative thoughts. We had been at the hospital thr day before and had seen her gp that morning so i was blindsided. Mum had to be looked after day and night, she could not be left except for a v short time when in bed, but mentally she was fine. I was very happy looking after her.I had given her a card saying "Mum youre the heart of Christmas" and ordered many gifts for her she didnt get. 

    I will read over your reply again and take your advice. Thanks again Carol it is much apreciated X
