My mum died 7 weeks ago. I don't feel I am properly grieving for her yet. Life continues as normal and although the tears are never very far away I am coping well and haven't had any melt downs or anything like that. Friends keep telling me how well I am doing but I am finding it difficult to open up to them and cry in front of them. I think I'm just keeping it all in.
One of the things I am finding hard is that I get no sense of mum being close by. I have a faith and believe she is in heaven but I don't 'feel' her near me and that makes me so sad. I would love to feel her presence in an almost physical way but I don't. I haven't even dreamt of her. It really does feel she has gone. Perhaps she has and I just need to accept that. I talk about her with my family and friends so it's not that she's not alive though our memories, she is. Am I just hoping for something that's never going to happen? Perhaps I am going a bit bonkers?!
