My Mum has died, just sixteen days after I lost my Dad.

Following on from this thread: My lovely Mum passed away this evening, she had suffered so long and hard with her health and just didn't want to keep going after Dad died.

We withdrew all treatment and she died peacefully, with four of her six children with her in hospital.

I've not cried yet, despite being with her and having to telephone my sister (who lives in the US) and tell my DH.

Thank you all for your support over the past weeks. x

NG. Keep it up, but make sure that you don't bottle stuff up.

Sorry - need to vent. Please excuse the following language:

FUCKWANKBOLLOCKSPOOBARSUCKS!

Thank you.

Sorry - needed to have a scream and shout and it's not fair on DH or DD for me to do it here and now. It's a month today since Mum died and her ashes are being scattered on Thursday and I've really had enough. My back is bad, DD is little miss stroppy and poor DH is frazzled from the stress. I just want to curl up in my bed and stay there for a month. Fuck.

Sorry and thanks. I am very lucky in that I've had some lovely texts from friends today and DH is a star, but it is so much harder than I thought and I really feel shite. I'm seeing the GP in the morning and will probably ask to up my ADs but I just want to run away.

How are you my love?

LilRed, I replied to your post on the Sleep thread a while back. Have been thinking of you today. The first Mothers' Day is so hard. Take Care

Thanks Helms. I'm finding MN rather wierd today so am logging off now and going to bed. G'night all and thank you.

LilRedWG - I was thinking of my mother today - but she died a very long time ago, and then I thought of you and the others on MN who have lost their mothers this year and how much harder it must have been for you. It's bloody awful, a horrible day to get through. That's it really - just wanted to say you have been in my thoughts.

I have decided that I need to 'get a grip' and start to keep my emotions/depression away from DD as she is being affected by it all, so starting today I am officially going to try and get on with it. I've seen the GP who agrees that I need to try and compartmentalise a little and has upped my ADs to help me.
