I miss my mum

Last summer I lost my mum to an infection that took hold after 4 rounds of chemotherapy for leukaemia. I was 6 months pregnant at the time and now holding my baby I just miss her so much. I had a really brilliant relationship with her and really loved her company. I have loads of friends and a good husband but nothing replaces her.
I find I can philosophise my head out of all ruts but there is literally no way around losing someone you care about so much it's just final and heartbreaking and so unfair.

I feel for you. I lost my mum in 2015 to cancer. I had my first baby in 2016. My partners mum is also dead. I look at her and feel so sad she will never know her grannys. It's so hard, and I get angry/jealous of all the help and support people get from their mums.

You're not alone. There is more of us out there then you think. I was 5 months pregnant when lost my mum in Jan to cancer. I don't know if the grief ever gets better, you just get better at dealing with it.
Sending lots of love and hugs xx

I found out I was pregnant about a week before we unexpectedly lost my mum at the end of January. I never got chance to tell her. In the last 2 months I've lost count of the number of times I've wanted to talk to her. I feel her absence constantly. Big hugs to you.
