Oh I can sympathise David. My Mum died 3 years ago and it still hurts - I miss her so. It will get better and grief will turn into a lovely memory but time is what it will take. Go with it, you have to adjust to life without her and it hard. She will always be with you in spirit if not in body as mine is. X

hi there thank you for your kind works im the same as you i like to think my.mums with me in spirit i also feel im letting her down being so upset which makes me feel selfish ! again thank you for your help.david x

[Hidden in reply to celtic2746]

No, you are not letting her down and you are not being selfish. You are grieving and it's still raw and painful. Give yourself time. Although it's three years since my Mum passed it still hurts but I can now look back on her life and smile. You will too. I have a picture of her on my dressing table and see her everyday. I don't know if you have visual reminders of your Mum around your house but it helps me. Take care. Sending you healing thoughts. X

Hi David and good to see your Post pop up, I'm sorry your feeling sad, but Grief

Takes a long time and there will be ups and downs. When I lost my Partner six years ago, It was horrific but bit by bit I started to heal, but the first year after his death

Was very very tough , so David don't expect to be dancing around the room. The only

Thing is that your Mum was older and it's a fairly natural thing to lose our parents.

Your late Mum would not want you to be feeling so miserable and sad, think of

The good support that you have and realise that this hurt that your feeling must be

Hard on your wife and your sister, your sister will be grieving too. Take it day by

Day and time will help too. David I'm always around for a chat, and I will keep

You in my prayers.

Hannah

Oh David I really feel for you as I lost my mum 2 1/2 years ago now. I still miss her and always will (and my dad too and he died 7 years ago). I still think about them both a lot. You will always miss her but if you go through the grieving process properly you will start to remember the good times more than the bad.

Be patient with yourself. It's only been 3 months and it will take longer than that. Lean on those who love you and talk about her as much as you need to. A big hug for you. Bev xx

[celtic2746 in reply to Hidden]

hi there i know it will get better but how long i dont know it will take ! i have a great support network around me but they say it will take time and there to help in the mean time thank you for your help god bless you ! xx

[Hidden in reply to celtic2746]

There is no time limit on grief love, everyone goes through it in their own good time. But go through it you must or there is a chance you will get stuck in the process and might need bereavement counselling. Bev xx

[Mandy6513]

Why dont you consider going to grief counselling they really do help...People think its part of life and we should just be able to cope with it but failing eye site is a natural part of life and we get glasses to help with it. Grief is hard and tireing and can be all consuming so we should take all the help we can get x

[celtic2746 in reply to Mandy6513]

my doctor suggested that i will look into it soon thank you for your reply !

Hello

If your problem is the loss of your Mother, three months is not long enough, you could be looking at two years or so before you will complete your moving on

You need to talk out your feelings and that will help to put your loss in some form of context.

One way you do this is to remember not only the bad, also the good things in that relationship, the more you talk the easier it will come.

Death is a big part of life and we all need to understand life is temporary and some feel we are put here to learn. We meet those at the far side and if we feel that way death is a celebration when we pass over as we meet those who have gone before.

The death of those we love is never easy, we can never correct this loss, it will always happen, no-one can intervene when death is the only option that we will see and experience.

All I can suggest here is that you have words with your GP, He may have options that will help you to move on.

We can stamp our feet, scream and shout, many will suffer like you each year.

Sad to say we cannot do anything about that passing of a loved one or those around us

Be kind to yourself, We are always around for that chat, if needed

thank you for your reply bob im just wishing if wasnt so hard losing someone i loved her so much ive got great memories of. her i know she was plagued with ill health for some time i just miss her so much finding it hard but im hoping it eases with time god bless you mum xx

[Hidden]

David it is never easy, life is never easy. We all just do our best to be strong and help others in our families in getting over the losses we suffer through our decades

Generally I always feel if I can do all I can for those in their final days, my conscience is clear. If you can feel that way, that is all you family members can expect of us, we can in a way feel we have helped that person cross over and comfort ourselves without to much sadness

Hi David

I'm another person that has lost their mum. It was a year ago this month and i have to say the first Christmas without her has been very hard. People say it takes up to two years for a grieving period so i think you have a little way to go yet. I miss my mum every day and i love her no different now than when she was here. I suffer depression too so losing someone close would never be easy. Some people just cope but we are all different and you must be a very sensitive person to be suffering as you are.

Take each day as it arrives, get up in the mornings and talk to her,tell her what you're doing, ask her which shirt you should wear, sounds mad I know but give it a go, try not to feel so sad, make out she's still here and each day will get a little easier eventually.

Best wishes David.

Celtic2746 I was so sorry to hear that you've lost your mother.

Sounds like you need a good shoulder to cry on.

And a good ear to listen to your woes and problems.

I'am a good listener and anytime you want to talk I'll alway's be here for you Celtic 2746.

david,

it will take time for wounds to heals. my mum passed away 7 years ago and i can understand how you feel. You have a wife and with her a life to move forward with so don't let the passing away of your mum get the better of you, and your relationship. sometimes talking helps. maybe talk to your sister and see how she feels and share your feelings with each other by going for a walk.

Your mum played a her part as a mother in bring you and your sister up and as a friend in the lives of her friends and family so think of it as she's done her dues in her life and now she has moved on. she has given you a life by bring you up, taught you things about it and now it's your time to put that knowledge into practice. let her be proud that you have moved on with your life with your wife on a new journey.

see how you get on and bereavement is ok and natural but please realize that one day you need to slowly turn the other way and move forward. you may remember your mum in years to come but slowly that will lessen as you become more occupied with your life. people may also ask you about your mum and it will test you to be strong and you will need to learn to be strong and this experience you will gain will allow you to help someone else like a friend or relative.
