I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum. It’s really hard because no one loves you like a parent. I lost my dad unexpectedly 18 months ago - I still grieve him daily. I wish you well and hope you have some support.

I just take it a day at a time - others further on in the journey say it gets better at some point but nobody can say when. Each person is different. I did find CRUSE grief service a lot of help. X

I was devastated when I lost my lovely mum, saw her every week and was always on the phone before she got ill. Took me ages to get over her loss but it does get better with time. You will never forget her but time is a great healer. Take care x

I’m sorry to here about your mum too 💔I honestly don’t think I will get over my mum , the pain is real I still can’t believe she’s gone I just wonder were she is I know that sounds silly but I just want to cuddle her and tell me everything’s going to be ok and she’s ok xxx

That you looked after and cared for her when she was so unwell will have been such a comfort to her. She was so young to go, and it is always too soon really.

Just keep going a day at a time, and your great sense of loss will ease, but I don’t think you ever truly put it behind you, you just get used to it. Look after yourself, that will honour her memory the best 💐

I feel very sad for you Elsy, losing your mum, especially at such a young age, is awful. I lost mine to Motor Neurone Disease 12 years ago and I was devastated. Slowly, but surely you will remember her with a smile rather than a tear, trust me.

Rest in peace Margaret xx

Take care, love Laurie xx

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, she must have been such a lovely person. You're so lucky to have had her in your life. Grief is all consuming and we have to go through it taking one day at a time. I still talk to my children's father who died 10.12.2010. We're all different so take as long as you need and we're all here to support you. My best friend died 3 months ago, it's been tough so my heart goes out to you. Very best wishes to you and yours Elsy12345

It is an awful shock, trying to keep well is exhausting and takes so much out of one. Just when you think you're doing well, it hits you hard. Not as hard as it hits those left behind though!! It's very early days, heartache and missing them seems neverending, it is in fact, eventually it's a different kind of heartache.

As we don't know one another personally, it's difficult, have you thought of bereavement counselling, l actually look at it, not as counselling, just another to chat to, a stranger, sometimes can be easier, bless you, thinking of you, huge hugs

I can relate completely to how you feel . The hurt never goes away but we learn to live with it. Try and think of the good memories.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my mum in 2013 and think of her everyday. I have happy memories which helps. I saw my mum everyday taking dinners and looking after her as well as keeping a full time job . It will get easier with time, let yourself grieve it's all part of the healing process x

Sorry to hear your news, it's always such a shock when they pass so quickly. 28 years ago this week my father passed away due to lung cancer - literally 6 months from diagnosis until he passed, and he was just 61 so I know what you're going through.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear mum. Please take one hour or one day at a time; have a structure of your day to hold you together and be kind to your self.

It’s early days and you will slowly get used to your loss which will be more bearable and the love for your mum will last forever.xx❤️

So sorry Elsy, it is so hard losing your Mum, that one person who is always there for you unconditionally. I still miss mine, she passed 11 years ago, but it doesn't hurt now. Cherish the good memories and think how lucky you are to have had someone so special in your life. Lots of love

Elsy, everybody at some point in their life suffers from a deep sense of loss. That's most often when a mum or dad passes on. It can be a changing point in everyone's life. But at the same time, another facet of your own life will develop ...you begin to grow in a way that expands your horizons ... You become a bigger person, expanding to the loss you have experienced. The grief will always be with you, but you become more comfortable with it, you kind of grow into this bigger thing. Well that's how I kind of see it and I've been helped by some meetings the church arranged and managed.

You cherish your mum and will do for the rest of your life. All of us here on this forum have experienced loss of one kind of another. This is a good place to meet and share stories. You were with your mum all the way of her life. Your mum knows that. Sometimes I think of someone's departure as they were travelling to another place, as if I have been with them to the railway station and seen them off as the train pulls out from the platform. A kind of goodbye. But not for ever. We all hope there will be another place, perhaps where your mum will meet you!

Oh sweetheart, my heart breaks for you. My daughters almost lost me 3 times to sepsis and I felt their emotional pain. I can only send you a huge hug as a mother myself. You will feel lost without her but she will always be with you in your heart and everyday thoughts, mums never die, we live on inside of our children and grandchildren for ever.

Take care

Wendy xx

It’s very normal, grief has no boundaries but think of it as a stone in your pocket you carry with you all the time, after a while it feels lighter and although you know it’s there, you hardly notice it.

I'm so sorry for your loss Elsy. My mum was only 65 when she passed suddenly and unexpectedly 3 years ago. It's still early days for you and it's so hard when you're very close to each other. It will get easier. Eventually your happy memories will make you smile a little more and the tears will get less. Thinking of you and sending hugs 🤗 xx
