To ask for advice, I’m missing my mum so much

My mother died when I was 13. Some days I still miss her so much as if she only just died - even though it’s been 6 years. Can anyone give me any tips on how to get through the worst days/nights (like today) ?

I can send you the biggest ever hug 🤗 and tell you I'm thinking of you. Hope someone can come along with some advice for you xxxx

I'm really sorry you had to go through that. It's such a young age to loose someone so important. I'm fortunate to have my parents with me still, but I didn't want to read and run.
I lost my nan at a similar age, I was very close to her and still miss her terribly. For me I always like to remember her, look at pictures or letters she wrote me. I also listened to songs and talked to her. I don't know if any of that would help you, but it always made me feel like she wasn't forgotten. Thanks

I hope you find some comfort and solace here. Sending and handhold, wish I could do more. Xx

Sending you the biggest hug. Is therapy an option? Maybe going through your achievements and taking comfort in the knowledge your mum would be so proud of you

I'm so sorry that I have no advice, but just want to send you the biggest hug Thanks

Big hugs. Does it help to talk about her?

O bless you, I also lost my mother ( 7 years ago) ( I was 27) the pain you feel will never go but it will ease... your mother will want you to be happy, When your feeling down talk to her ( I do) let it out ( sounds weird I know but who cares) I just think about how she wont be wanting me to be upset and that's she's just fine up there, it's fine to shed a tear, everyone copes differently. Sending my love Flowers

Making sure you keep contact with your support network.

That could be anything: a chat on mumsnet; messaging a friend; watching your favourite tv show; anything that makes you feel happy about being you Flowers

Hey Sosadsosad, I feel your pain; it doesn't stop hurting, does it?

Perhaps it would help if we didn't collecively mourn but collectively praised and shared the love. By that, I mean can you tell us all the amazing things about your Mum. What are your fondest memories of her? Is there a smell / place / somg / food / season that evokes that feeling of her being here?

My beloved Aunt made the world's WORST snowball (of the booze variety) and every year, I get an Aadvocat and remember her fuck-awful attempts at what was a simple beverage!

Much love Flowers
