Please may I have a handhold? My mum died today.

I can’t believe I just wrote that thread title.

It doesn’t make sense to me. I loved her.

So very sorry for your loss 💐 what a beautiful story though that she never took her ring off, even once. Not many are so blessed to have such wonderful marriages ❤️

My sincerest condolences. I remember how surreal everything feels & it's horrible

So sorry for your loss

So sorry Luna. Sending love xx

I'm so sorry. I lost my mother, too. It takes you to a whole other level, doesn't it? Like the world is less safe and more lonely.

Make sure you have people who support you. Grief is a roller-coaster, and don't let anyone tell you about the stages of grief. You don't end one and you're done with that emotion. In my experience, the feelings just keep happening over and over - anger, denial, acceptance, etc. - keep popping up at different times. It does get better with time, though, I promise.

Wishing you the best.

There are lots of wonderful memories, that’s for sure.

The last time I saw her was through a glass wall at her carehome - they were doing socially distanced visit.

She gave me a cheeky wave as she wheeled herself off around the corner in search of Mars bars from the carehome shop.

I can’t believe it.

Sorry for your loss my mum died last week on Tuesday

You've lost both your parents in eight months, that's very tough. I'm so sorry. You must feel numb. I hope you have some real life support, someone who can hug you or hold your hand.

I’m sorry, @Namechange23432.

It’s a very primal feeling. Like a part of me has slipped away.

She sounds sparky
So sorry for your loss x

So sorry, OP. Wishing you strength for the days ahead.

Sorry to hear this. I lost my grandad two months ago (he brought me up) he was in his 80s. It's such a difficult time and you just need to be kind to yourself and remember all those lovely memories. She will be looking after you xxxx

So very sorry for your loss

I'm here to hold your hand. 5 years ago, at the age of 21 my parents died. I'm still here, you can go on. Sending you all my thoughts

dear Luna; a massive gentle hug and back rub. I feel for you, in your sadness and loss.

Oh darling girl. I am so sorry.
Do tell us more about her, she was obviously VERY much loved.

So sorry for the loss of your mum.

I'm so sorry

What can I tell you?

She was HUGELY talented. She could knit, sew, embroider, make the most elaborately decorated cakes - all self-taught. I mean, the most stunning three tier wedding cakes.

In her retirement she took up making doll’s houses. She made a wartime house and pub, which are going to be displayed in the carehome where she lived - her idea, for ‘the old ones’ to look back on.

And stylish? The last conversation I had with her - yesterday! - she had one of the caters tonging her hair.

She was so smart.

@LunaNorth I'm so very sorry for your loss. May your lovely memories of her get you through this difficult time. She sounds lovely xx
