Lost my mum young & finding life really hard

Hi,

Im 21 years old and I lost my mum when I was 16 unexpectedly in a operation due to Ovarian cancer. I have struggled over the years. But I feel 5 years down the line and its the hardest. I feel the lowest I have ever been. I feel very lost and lonely without my mum and that none of my friends or family truly understand.

I have had a hard couple of years - moving houses, losing friends, losing my job. I find that its rare for someone to be in the same situation as me. I feel so lonely and not normal because all my friends go home to their famalies and I live with my sister and her girlfriend (which is sometimes difficult).

It seems like nothing is going to get better

  • Thank you for your reply,

    well we have some nice trips planed when I return to visit. I am currently living abroad, but I speak to my mum everyday and call hospitals when needed. She has my sister there at home. I can't help but feel guilty but I guess there isn't anything I can do!.

    how you? Have you managed to see more of your gp?

  • Aww at least you have things planned when you visit :) she will appreciate that. You may feel guilty but she wouldnt want you to stop doing the things you love and want to do.

     

    Im ok, I have, I currently got some information from a counselling service and I am going to try and arrnage that this week x
