mum died in Feb and I was 0K at first but lately I can't sleep and cry every night. Miss her like mad. Life feels meaningless when we are all die in the end..why am I feeling this negative? 

  • Hello happydays29,

    I'm so sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time coping with the loss of your mum.

    Grief is a very personal journey and I think there's no right or wrong way to feel but please remember you're not alone, we are here for whenever you need a chat.

    I'm attaching to this message a link from our website on coping with grief and I hope that will be of some help. To read more, please click here.

    Also, the Samaritans are just a phone call away for when things become too difficult to bear, they are available to talk to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so don't hesitate in giving them a ring if you need.

    I hope this helps, even if just a little.

  • Sorry for your loss. I just lost my Mum 2 weeks ago. 

    I can not see my future being any brighter or getting easier. I have lost a lot of family members. One each year since 2008 infact however Mum is the biggest for me. My best friend. Daughter and Mother bond broken. She was too young and it was such a terrible end when we all were positive she would beat it.

    I hope you have support.

  • So sorry that your suffering so much heart ache at the moment... 

    I too have lost mum and dad grandparents brothere in law and many aunties and friends ... I believe they don't go , they watch us from up there ... and when it's our time they will be there waiting ... I have grade 3 breast cancer and have two sons and I've told them I'll always be around watching .. and every time I see them smile and have a happy life it will make me smile too ... 

    Life is a hard old Road with its ups and downs but making the most of it is the only thing we can do ... and at least you can help people going through loss as you've been there ... 

    I hope you find it in you to try and take one day at a time and not look too far ahead... picture them with you and think what you mum would tell you if she could ... sending you a big hug  xx

  • Gosh so many of us. I'm totally struggling too from losing my mum last Nov and my two boys still cant understand that she left. I think talking to someone really helps and think I may return to counselling as struggling without it really. Just know that your are not alone and unfortunately we all go though it at some point. Just remember your mum would want you to live and she is always with you some how. Big hugs to all you people missing Mums.xxxx

  • Big love to you. Life is so unfair. Stay strong xxxx
