Mum passing.

give yourself time to take it all in, as you say mum is a peace that's what you would want for her, it's horrible to watch and even harder to when you think you have not done enough, but in time you will know you did everything you could to make their time easier

Dear Beth, I am so sorry to read of your loss. Grief can show itself in many ways, and there is no right or wrong way to feel. So take each day as it comes, and be gentle with yourself. Sending you and your family comforting hugs, Val X

Thank you so much for your kind messages.  This is a very hard thing to cope with but people on here have been so supportive. i can't thank you enough x

Dear Beth,

We haven't conversed before but your message really struck a cord with me. My mum passed away on the 30th March, she also had a brain tumour. I think the numbness is our bodies way of trying to protect ourselves from such intense feelings. I also think we begin grieving when we hear the terminal diagnosis so our reactions will probably differ slightly than if it was completely unexpected.

That said, it is absolutely the hardest most heartbreaking thing I have ever gone through.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve and you will find your own way. As others have said take each day as it comes and also please be kind to yourself.

I have sent you a friend request, please feel free to message me if you want to talk.

Take care
