That's all. I want her back. She's been gone just over a month and I miss her. How can I stop feeling like this?

I'm so sorry Hotpinkangel19. I don't know how to help but just want to offer my support. I can't imagine the pain of losing a parent. Huge hugs to you and the only sensible thing I can think of to say is to just take it minute by minute, hour by hour. Your world has changed but you will get through this.

So sorry for your loss Hotpinkangel19. I lost my mum 3 years ago and I still have times that I feel utterly lost and all I want is my mum. I honestly don't think it will ever change, but I'm learning to live without my mum. As others have said, just try to go from minute to minute, and be kind to yourself.

The only way I got through the very first few weeks and months was to focus on one thing at a time.

I can now look back and remember my lovely mum and millions of happy memories. It is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, but you will get through it, somehow.

Take care and be kind to yourself. 💐 Thinking of you,

Hi hotpink I lost my mum 4 years ago in June. It was devastating but it has got easier, I used to find myself with tears running down my cheeks in shops and when I told my young DC about my mum I would cry, but now I tell them with such pride how wonderful she was and I just hope they understand how lovely and amazing she was. It will get easier it just takes time. Talk about her often. Hugs Flowers

So so sorry for you loss. I lost my DM at the start of the year, a week before I found out I was pregnant but never got chance to tell her. This week it will be 6 months to the day she went & also her birthday. I think about her every day, there have been so many times I've wished I could pick up the phone for a chat or just really, really wanted my mum. It hurts so much, but very, very slowly I'm learning to live with it. Always here for a hand hold or shoulder to cry on.

I've been reading the Breast fed baby on board car sign thread in AIBU today.

I really, really wanted to text my mum a snapshot of the photo. I know it would have made her roll her eyes in disbelief.

It's the little things you miss. Flowers

So sorry for you. It's been 4 years since my mum passed & I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. For those around you, especially those who haven't lost someone close, life just continues on whilst you find it hard to. That doesn't really change, you just learn to accept it really. Focus on your little ones arrival: that really helped me.

You have to give yourself time, and then some more time, in any circumstances, but your hormones emphasise everything, and then finding out the little one is due on her birthday making is even making me well up.
I lost my Mum many years ago, and I can let you know that, as time goes on the % of time you can think of her and smile / laugh / recall happy memories is something that grows and grows and grows. Don't get me wrong, I still have little 'well up moments' (almost certainly will at my ds's graduation this week), but they get further and further inbetween, and you start to be able to talk about her and remember all the things you love about her without dissolving into floods of tears.

You know what? I don't think you ever do stop missing them, especially a mum. It gets a tad easier over time, its still very soon and raw for you at the moment.

I've seen my mum lose her mum nearly 2 yrs ago. We miss her more than anything. What I find helps is that if you miss them so much, it must be because they were "a good'un".

I keep telling myself that I am so glad we had her, even forever would not have been long enough. But it was a blessing to have had her in our lives.

Please don't feel ashamed or embarrassed or wish the feelings away. It is natural.

Sending you hugs x

Hello hotpink I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.
My mum died when I was 14 and I'm 31 now and still cry for her most days.
You never get over them leaving but things get better.
You have a beautiful baby to make your life amazing.
Just wait till he /she is here.
Things will get better hang in there

Hotpinkangel19 · 30/07/2017 20:00
