My heart is just broken - my mum is 80 and has had an amazing life for which she and myself and siblings are so thankful for but my heart is still broken.

I understand that this is a normal part of life,losing your parent(s) but am struggling to understand that life will go on without my mum because I always felt like when times were tough, she was my anchor. I see people go on without their mums but just can’t picture my life without her - please reassure x

    Hi Kazxy,

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I understand how you feel as I lost my dad who was my best friend 2 months ago. It’s only starting to fully sink in now that I’ll never see him again.

    I don’t know if it we’ll ever get over it but in time I’m sure it’ll get easier. We just have to hold on to the good times we had with our loved ones and they passed knowing we loved them and they loved us. 

    I have good days and bad days, today being the latter.

    Sending you strength and support x
