Losing my mum

[Golden2024]

First of all, let my apologize in advance

as I don’t normally post anything anywhere and struggle putting thoughts to words sometimes but I wanted to reach out to any others that may share my experience. It’s been 2 years now since my mum passed away. We were absolutely inseparable, she was my best friend and at times my savior. She  was the very definition of unconditional love.I knew before she passed that it was going to hit hard and tried to prepare myself as best I could but nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. The grief seems to be getting stronger now over time along with feelings of guilt that maybe I didn’t do enough for her or spend enough time with her than I could have. I have recently moved interstate away from all my support back home and right now feel completely alone.My family and friends are close and supportive but i still feel like they will never completely understand my grief. I don’t know where to turn and feel like I have  aged so much since she passed. I tell myself I will try to make her proud , she would never have wanted me to feel like this. There are many others that have gone through so much worse than I have and I am so grateful for having been blessed with such a beautiful mum.

My wish is for all others that are struggling with grief find the comfort and peace that they need to get through, no one is really alone if we reach out to each other. Please take care of yourself and I will try to as well.

Thank you so much for your kind words and I am so sorry for the loss of your mum too. May you find peace and

comfort in the many great memories you shared with her and comfort in the support of the many good people in this space that understand. In reaching out to others in pain I believe we can help heal ourselves too. You are in my thoughts today.

A very similar story to mine. I lost mum coming up to 2 years ago. She was my best friend. It has been a slow sinking ship of losing my partner for a year. I feel like my grief is never ending and all I do is lose the people closest to me. I don’t know how to cope anymore.

sending you a big hug. so sorry to hear about your loved ones. i lost my mum in october last year and am finding it harder and harder. The never ending grief is very deep and difficult. we arent built to be alone but we lose everyone ... hope you can stay on here and tell us how you go. how you get through the days etc. not a lot we can do but say, "i hear you. it's kind of impossible. hang in. much love" pawsy

Hi Lily,

I am so sorry for the loss of your mum, but I have so much respect and admiration for you to reach out and share your story. I understand when you say you feel that your grief is never going to end as it still feels like that to me some days too after more than 2 years. The kind words from the people here have truly been comforting to me though and reminds me too that we are never really alone, I am carrying you in my thoughts and sending you blessings of hope and comfort.
