Mourning the loss of my beautiful mum

Hi All 

just trying this out to get a little bit of guidance as starting to struggle, I lost my dear mum feb this year she fell ill in the October last year was diagnosed with Mesothelioma end of jan and died end of feb I was 4 months pregnant when she passed to say it’s been hard is an understatement don’t get me wrong some days are easier than others but I think being pregnant has made me pull myself through this grief, with my due date next month I’m so excited for the arrival of my baby boy but I’m starting to mourn my mum more, her not being here has been the hardest but I feel it’s going to get a lot harder once he is here as I would’ve spent most my time with her. I know it’s only be 3 months since she’s been gone this month so all so so raw still and still in such disbelief that she has gone, what makes me more sad is that I don’t even feel her around me my mum used to be so spiritual so thought we would’ve felt her presence around us but nothing just so so hard! Sorry for rambling on but wanted to post on here as reading through we are in same situations of loosing our loved ones just want to know how yous cope xxxxx

  • I'm so sorry about your mum crazypuglady.

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you at the moment but as you're found out from reading other posts, our members know how tough this journey is so I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    We do have a section on our website about coping with grief which I hope will be of some help to you at this time but in the meantime just try to take things a day at a time and remember that your mum will continue to live on in you and the memories you pass on to your little one.

    Kind regards,
