Hi I lost my Mum 2 months ago very sudden and unexpectedly. I had just had a baby who was only 1 week old at the time. I have other children who were so close to their Nan.
I feel like with a new baby I haven't processed anything. I've had a tiny human to look after and now I am finding myself either breaking down in tears, being very angry or just wanting to be alone. I keep wanting to call her or text her and it takes me a while to process that she isn't here anymore.
I feel like no one checks in anymore to see how we are and it's "old news" almost. Just posting to type out how I am feeling really. I just feel so numb and empty. I miss her so much 😭

I’m so so sorry OP, you have been through so much. Can you tell someone in RL how you are feeling. You need lots of support and care just now. Sending love.

Am so sorry OP. Please, get an appointment with your GP to discuss how you’re feeling (which is completely normal).

You’ve had a shock bereavement of your mum and you also have a newborn. Two very emotionally charged situations - you need some support through this.
