Cant sleep and cant focus after losing my mum

I lost my mum in September and really struggling to focus. I just feel totally heartbroken and feel like I'm living in zombie bubble. The first month after she died I felt so strong and went back to work. The first few weeks were fine and I was liking the fact I was getting back into a routine. The support in my work has been amazing but I think I started to feel overwhelmed and it was one last "how are you doing" that seemed to trigger the uncontrollable crying and just not being able to focus on anything. I had a few weeks holiday left and my work have let me take them now. I'm not sure what do with my time off to help me. I tried to get back to normality before by going out driving and making jewellery etc but I think I was just stalling my emotions and this is why I feel so upset now. I have lost interest in almost everything and cancelling friends etc. I just dont want to put my brave face on again. My family are a great support to me but I still feel alone. They are all back at work and although they are heartbroken seem to be finding support from work and able to get back into a routine.

  • hi a I’m so sorry for the way you feel I’m sitting by my mums bed now  and come on this forum for answers but sometimes there not here I’ve not posted before but didn’t want you to think you on your own out there I dread the day it happens to my mum but I know it will break my heart and the reason it will is because my mum has been my friend Rick and I carnt love or praise her enough she taught me how to be the best person I can and to value life and bought a strong loving family up like you have your family turn to them they will understand even though they  carrying on they will feel it we all deal with grieve differently I think it will hurt so much because we loved and been loved in return and cherish that we are so lucky to have had this love that hurts andb hopefully that will bring you some ease of grief sending you a massive hug  try and get some sleep Les x
