The last time I wrote on this forum I had said my mum had 2 or 3 months to live but she passed away the next day. I was there and she died peacefully surrounded by all of her family, it's been 4 months since and it's been horrible. All my friends have been really supportive but I feel like they are all forgetting about what's happend to me because I never really show it to anyone. I had my birthday a couple months ago and it was generally the worst day of my life all I did was cry and the whole day it was just a constant reminder that she is never going to be there again. I have big exams coming up soon and everyone is still expecting me to do well including my teachers and my dad and I hate the pressure of feeling like I'm not allowed to slack off at all even though sometimes I really need to. I've been talking to a councillor pretty much weekly but I don't really feel like they understand anything. I just need some tips with how to grieve properly and maybe some advice with how to deal with all these big exams.
