God I miss my mum

[HappyBirthdayMrPresident]

A day like Monday a bank holiday but my kids still at school (Scotland) my mum and I would love nothing else than going for a coffee and a wee wander round the shops.

Been over 2 years since I lost her and still hurts like hell.

My mum died on 16 July. Every day is a struggle. I don’t expect it to get easier any times soon. I’d love a sit and a cup of tea with mine. I’ve found a lively thread for loss of a parent that I’ve started posting on. Lots of comfort and support there.

Hand hold from me.

It's coming up to a year of me losing my mum and in many ways it has got harder. The totality of it all is mind blowing.

Sending you strength @HappyBirthdayMrPresident

My mum died 4 years ago, I still can’t quite believe she’s gone. I’d love to share a bottle of wine and chat the evening away with her again.

9 years here and I miss her so much - sometimes it catches me so hard.

My sympathies to you all

It's hard to deal with the loss of your mum.💕💕
Take Care

It's really very hard so be kind to yourself. 2 and a half years for me and most of the time I'm absolutely fine but it's always there. Lurking away to ambush me when I least expect it.

Some days I'm just fine. Other days I can't breathe when I think of her.

It hits at the most random moments. I take comfort from the fact that if I hadn't loved her so much I wouldn't miss her so much.

Mine passed away 7 years ago when my oldest was a toddler, and she never knew my youngest who is named after her. It’s horrible, my mum knew me better than I knew myself and was always there for me. Miss her so much…

Coming up 3 years for me, it still feels like my heart has been ripped out of my chest sometimes, the grief is so overwhelming I struggle to breathe.

Even longer for me and I still think about my Mom every day. She died in January 2013 from flu complications.

Only when your Mom is gone do you realize how much she taught you and meant to you. I can't even peel potatoes without thinking of her.

My condolences OP.

Lost my mum 2.5 months ago. I don't have many words of comfort. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I lost mine 6 months ago very unexpectedly and although I’m much better day to day, as others have said it hits me out of nowhere. My grief mostly pops up when I think about my 4 year old (and the one in currently pregnant with) and how she so loved being a grandma and has had years of that cruelly snatched away.

My beautiful mum died 4 weeks ago. I can't quite believe she's gone and talk to her everyday. It has ripped a hole in my heart. I miss her every day. I'm outwardly able to get on with everything but every now and then I'm totally knocked off my feet by the reality of it. It also seems like years since I've seen her which really upsets me. Until this happens to you, you have no idea how devestating it is, no matter what age. I have a new found deeper sympathy with all who have lost their dear mothers. It is truly heart wrenching 💔

I lost my Mum 7 months ago.
There isn't a minute in the day that I don't think about her.
I lost my Dad 8 weeks before my Mum.
There is just such an emptiness that will never be filled.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. It's three months since my dad died and I miss him so much.
I think it's the price of love. But that doesn't help.
I don't think it matters how long it's been you need to be easy on yourself and if you want to have a day crying and being sad then that is what you need.

It hits at the most random moments. I take comfort from the fact that if I hadn't loved her so much I wouldn't miss her so much

You are still in very early times yet. Gradually it shifts slightly so you go longer between the tears and feelings of loss until it only sneaks up on you very occasionally. Take care of yourself
