My Lovely, Dear Old Mum Died Recently...

[888]

..and I'm absolutely devastated and will miss her terribly, as not only was she "To all the world one mum, to us she was all the world", she was also my best friend. The funeral was only yesterday and this is the first time I've been back on here amongst ABers since earlier this year (no-one noticed my absence!). I'm heartbroken.

So sorry for your loss, 888.

Sorry to hear about your loss, I can imagine how devastated you are. All things raw at the moment so it will take time for the pain to ease. Modest help knowing that of course but you must allow yourself time to grieve and that is so difficult I know. Keep in touch here, there's so many kind hearted and caring folk, it will help. One day at a time and you will begin to get through it. My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry, it's such a heartbreaking part of life. You have memories to treasure and believe me in time you'll be ever so grateful for the.

It speaks volumes for the relationship you had with your Mum, the way you talk about her. She left her mark and that's all anyone can hope for...

Take your time and take care x

(I'm sure you were missed x)

My deepest sympathies to you, of course you are heartbroken. It is still very raw and will take a long time to get used to her not being there. My Mum died 20 years ago and I still think about her every day, but now I remember all the good times, times really does ease the pain a little. Keep her memory alive by talking about her. Come on here for a chat when you are feeling low, there are plenty of people who will help you x

Talk about her to anyone who will listen. It will break your heart you all over again but it will help in the long run. Cry as much as you need to.

[flump1]

I am sorry 888 , I send you condolences and hugs. In time as others have said, the pain will shift and you will remember her and smile more.

[askyourgran]

I lost my mum just over 5 years ago, and I still have a little weep for her. Time does ease the loss 888, and be thankful that you had close and a loving relationship with your mother. In time you will realise, like me, that everyone goes through this eventually, but the happy memories remain.
