Mourning my mother

[SRNM]

My mother passed away three weeks ago.

Since then I am at a total loss. She was my pillar. My anxiety has flared up, and am feeling extremely sad and depressed. There is this massive empty feeling. I really don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so recent and you are bound to feel lost, sad, alone and depressed.

You have to go through your grieving process which is very individual.

Please look at our bereavement site for more support

Thank you for your support.

So sorry for your loss. It might be therapeutic for you to try out a bereavement group in your community. I was my mom's caregiver at the end of her life. She was my best friend. The feelings you have are part of the grieving process. As my group facilitator always told us be good to yourself. Grieving is not a linear process. It has its ups and downs. U might see down the road, things that remind you of your beloved mom and have a fond memory of it. Keep these good things close to your heart as well.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. Much appreciated. Yes, I have many beautiful memories that will be with me till the end.

So happy that you have these memories. Have a peaceful weekend.

SRNM, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mum, I lost mine a few years ago and was her carer for many years so I miss her terribly, we were like sisters, I think of her every day , she is always with me and my Dad too.

Those that live in the hearts of others ,never die 💞

I'm so sorry to hear this as it's awful to lose a parent. I do know as I have lost both mine.

There is nothing to do but endure it I'm afraid, but things do get easier over time. The one thing I will say to you is your mother would want you to be happy and to move on one day so keep working towards that. That would be the best way to repay her love and care for you.

Grief has a life of its own. It sounds to me like you’re where you’re supposed to be. I’m sorry for your loss. Check out the Bereavement forum on HU. My prayers are with you. Sending hugs and love. Peace and strength.

My mother was in ICU for 10 days. I saw her slowly sinking. It was such a heart breaking time.

But what moved me was the outpouring of love and support by family and friends. She was loved, adored and admired by so many people. Set an example for me to follow.
