Struggling after loosing mum

[clairebear31]

I lost my mum in may from cancer and I was coping ok. But now I’m feeling terrible I cry all the time, I have a horrible feeling in my stomach and keep getting really angry and snappy quickly. I miss her so much whenever I think about her properly I stop myself as I can’t bare it. My dad is doing ok but he is quite a grumpy odd person generally and makes it hard sometimes. My husband and kids are great. I just so sad all time. Is this normal and will I ever feel ok again?

It is normal. I have been the same after my Mum died.

As time goes on you have terrible days and better days.

It is normal, it can be a long difficult time. But it does slowly get better.
Look after yourself.

Yes, that sounds normal.clairebear31
Sorry for your loss.

Thank you it’s such a rubbish time

Sounds normal I am afraid
I lost my mum in February and miss her so much every day. I still cry and get upset, i don’t think that will ever go.
The sense of loss gets less raw, and you just get on with life. Also think that she is at peace and would want you to be happy and enjoy your life. She is in your heart forever and that will have to be enough. Even though we can’t talk to them or hug them, we can still love them and remember them and talk to them in our minds.
Someone said to write letters but I haven’t tried this yet, I think it would be so painful still.
Big hugs and I am so sorry for your loss

Thank you. I think with her birthday and Xmas coming up it just seems so overwhelming. I was thinking about her earlier and could see her clearly was nice

Oh OP, I'm so sorry. My mum died 12 years ago and it's horrible. It never goes away, but it does get easier. Sending you hugs and 💐
