Just had triplets now mum has died

[kentDee]

My mum died suddenly from a brain haemorrhage 2 weeks ago and I have just had triplets. I'm in complete shock. Don't know if I'm coming or going.
Life is so unfair sometimes.

So very sorry for your loss sweetie

And congratulations on the birth of three bundles who will, no doubt, ease the pain of your mums sudden death.

Take each day one at a time and remember to take some time for you, though I appreciate that won't be easy with triplets.

I think if I didn't have the babies I would lock myself away. They keep me busy which I suppose is a good thing. I'm just so pleased mum got to meet her granddaughters.

So sorry for your loss. Take it one day at a time, you must be exhausted with 3 babies, try and make sure that you are getting enough rest and eating ( although i do understand that eating might be the last thing you want to do ) . Above all be kind to yourself.

So sorry for your loss kentDee.

My mum died of sudden brain haemorrhage 25 years ago. It's a very difficult thing to cope with, sudden death, and you must be very gentle with yourself. I ended up having some counselling a couple of years ago and wished I'd done it a long long time ago.

There is no simple answer to how you will cope, but please do find time and the right person to talk about how you feel, when you are ready to do it. Might be on MN sometimes, with your family or your partner.

And work out how to tell your babies about your mum. My boys know loads about my mum, we talk about her most weeks, because she is part of who they are.

Best wishes to you and your babies, keep well.
