Loss of parent - bad day.

[sleeptight1]

I lost me mum suddenly 11 weeks ago and had been doing really well.
Today I just feel like I've crumbled. Feel so sad and miss her so much - still can't believe I will never see her again. I laying on the bed under a blanket just feeling the best
Part of my life is over. 47 and will lose my Dad in the coming years, my dog is getting old. I don't have a bit extended family just a brother, my husband and two children. Anyone else feeling low?

So sorry for you. My mum has cancer and under palliative care at home. It’s so painful, I’ve had to get some help because I’m not coping well

Mums are special. Sending you some strength

I’m also quite unwell myself and can’t go and support my dad and spend time with my mum as I would have liked. It’s a lot to deal with. You’re not alone.

I understand x I lost my dad 9 weeks ago and am left with a sense of things will never be the same 😩 I moved six years ago to be closer to him and we were very close the last few years . It’s those times when you think that .. you’ll just call them to tell them something and then it’s like being punched in the chest .. I’m so sorry you lost your mum .. have you had any grief counselling ?

I know totally how you feel. I recently lost both my mum and dad and it is so hard. I am an only child with no children so do feel alone in the world as I have no support net anymore. Most of the time I am ok but now and again it feels very sad and scary. Sending OP hug x

You are in the really early stages of your grief, i was still in shock at that stage and exhausted after all the stuff that had been done. I also found people had stopped asking and in what seemed the most ridiculously short space of time, I was expected to be ok it felt. All I can say is that you have to let the feelings engulf you sometimes as they often come in waves and can feel like they'll break you but your kids give you purpose and it gets slightly easier in time. I'm 18 months on from losing my mum and it's still not as real to me as I thought it'd be. She went to the shop and had a fatal heart attack. I never saw her again. Just typing this has made me feel sick. It still feels brutal. My dad also passed 7 years ago. I have an only child and I so wish I could chat to them about him. How I've coped with this is to let myself have days where like you, I get under a blanket and stay there. I have my mind a rest watching crap on Netflix.. I did feel very low for a long time and was also ill a lot as it makes you run down I think, but I feel my energy coming back and I believe you will too. But you can't rush any of it. It's like an injury and your body and mind will need gentle care. Counseling has helped me a bit. Especially when no one else to talk to about it. Take care of yourself.
