Recent loss of Mum. Only 57.

[squashedgrape]

I have never in my life felt such sadness before.
My body, my heart and my mind aches so much.
I'm lucky to have a great support network and even though we talk constantly and I cry etc the ache is awful.
We haven't had the funeral yet and I'm not sure how I will cope.
Has anyone unfortunately been through similar and have words of wisdom to offer?

Posting for support and offering you a handhold till someone more experienced comes along. It must be a very hard time for you

Can you repost somewhere busier, relationship board maybe, you might find more support there.

I’m so sorry for your loss. We all know our parents will go at some time but it was too soon for your mum. It’s completely natural for you to be devastated and to grieve. Grief is the price we pay for love. Time will pass and eventually you will become used to the fact that your mum has gone. In the meantime surround yourself with the love of your family and friends and be kind to yourself.

Bereavement counselling is something you might want to consider. 💐💐💐

What a terrible loss, I am so sorry.
Nothing can take your pain away while it is so raw.
You loved her.

Could you tell us about her?

She was funny, silly and always laughing about something. She liked making things out of nothing- ideas she had created in her head. She loved cats and made the best cup of tea. I know she would hate that we are all so sad and that -as silly as it sounds- makes me feel guilty!

Aaah, she sounds such good company, OP. A lovely friend and Mum. Did she leave cats? Are you a cat lover?

My dsis died at 58 in 2013. She was pretty, slim, and well dressed. It was a shock because it was so sudden. My sympathies, OP. It's horrible.

I’m so sorry 💐

I lost my mother on the 17th Jan and she was only 61. It breaks my heart to think about that she’s not here anymore. It was very sudden and not expected at all. We haven’t got the post mortem yet but it was probably a heart attach. She went for a walk and never come back.

If you want to talk I’m here for you

My mum died at 53 over 25 years ago, she’s been gone longer than I knew her
I still think of things I’d like to ask her, and I share memories of her with my dc’s (she never knew them)
You can’t help feeling sad so don’t feel guilty, no real words of wisdom for the funeral, accept offers of help that will make the next few days easier for you all 💐
