Loss of my mother

[aidyl]

I've just recently lost my mother after being her carer for the past 10 years. The emptiness is almost unbearable - she was my entire life for so long. She fought many health battles over the years, but always managed to rally back to life, sometimes almost miraculously. Consequently, it seemed (absurdly, I admit) that she would never die. Now that she's gone, it just doesn't seem real, it doesn't seem right - that someone with so much courage and strength should die.

How do I go on?

Hello Stephen, I know you wrote this over 3 years ago but it was like reading what I would've typed myself. Exactly so. Just the dates are different. I was carer for 6 years and my dear Mum died in September 2019. I have also been so lost, I spun in circles and still do not knowing what to do with myself. I wonder if you're still reading this forum's posts, how you are now and are things any better for you now?
Thank you.
