I think in the immediate aftermath you go into shock and feel numb - its later on that it hits you. I lost my mum a year ago and still get waves of it even now. There is something so deep at the core of our relationships with our mums that makes us revert to feeling like fiver year olds - just want to kick and scream and shout "Its not fair!" And it isn't, its not fair, we all still need our mums however old we are.

10 weeks isn't very long, its ok to not go back to normal, your kids will understand when you say your sad because you miss your mum, your DH needs to know how upset you are so he can support you.

Let yourself grieve, be kind to yourself,

Hugest hugs, Sally

Cuppy, I think that absolutely true. We are all our mothers daughters, and we need them. And when they're gone, there is a huge, huge void.

Choc, please don't place too much strain on yourself trying to be strong and put on a brave face, especially for DH's saker. Turn to him for support.

You are going through one of the most stressful, hardest times, and your DH is there. Let him pick up the slack of all you probably do while you grieve.
