I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I think time eases the grief, I hope it works that way for you.

Hope so just gets lonely sometimes not having anyone to talk to

When my dad passed away online wasn't a thing - but the hospital had several grief support groups and the one I joined kept me balanced.

When my husband passed away years later I found a grief message board forum the perfect place to talk - honestly the anonymity was a genuine blessing. I could log on any time I felt the need and no worries about eye contact awkwardness or not having enough time to really talk things through.

I could talk as much and as long as I needed. Every time I started a new discussion that first year, the other members were right there for me, it was comforting and helpful.

Eventually after about a year I realised I was doing more comforting of others than leaning on them - that's when I knew I'd got through the worst of it.

You'll get there, it really just takes time - and finding an online grief forum to help you through the loneliness.

Do u have a link or something thanks

The online group I was on all those years ago has gone dark, but HealthUnlocked has a bereavement support group you might find helpful:

healthunlocked.com/bereavem...

If that one doesn't suit, your GP may be able to suggest some online groups, and you might have a look at the website for the hospital your mother was in or your local community health centre website - most hospitals and community health centres have links to online support groups they feel confident recommending.

There isn't any one can say, such as "I know how you feel" I hope you and your family will weather the loss, and remember the memories. Praying that everything turns out better for all your family.

So very sorry to read of your loss, and I send you my sincere condolences.Time does ease the pain of loss, my mother died 25 years ago but there are still times when I would give anything to be able to talk to her, to tell her something to ask for her advice.

Sending you very best wishes Pauline

I am so sorry for your loss. Its a tough world at the moment, but losing your mum is one of those life events that changes. I hope she was peaceful at the end of her life. For those left behind its a struggle. When my mum died (in 2012) I realised I was an adult orphan - which was a lonely place to be. Stay in touch with us all here and let us know how you are getting on.

So sorry your mum passed away. I really feel for you. Time does make things a bit better but I think that's because we get used to the situation. My mum passed away 32 years ago and I still remember it as if it were yesterday. I still talk to her every day though.Sending you all our love a hugs. xxxx
