Over the past weeks I have gone from being very business like to feeling unbearable pain but for the past two days I have felt empty. It's like I can't feel, does that make sense? It's almost like an out of body experience, I'm standing on the outside looking in.

I have tried to motivate myself to do something, anything, but I just can't be bothered! I have no concentration, feel flat and I don't care about anything, even though I'm trying to appear ok to people around me. Why can I not feel? Anger? Hurt? Pain? Sadness? I feel nothing! It's like I've become detached from reality.

Is this a normal part of the grief process? I don't even think I've accepted that mum's gone. I know she's gone, I watched her go but I just can't accept it. She lived with me for 20 years. We were best friends and I just can't see my life without her in it. I don't feel sad or angry I just feel empty!

Hi Caroline,

I have felt the same way this last 2 days I dont know if its the time of the year, or if its a touch of depression. But I just cant seem to get into the swing of things going on around me. I will feel better tomorrow,once I have kicked myself up the bum.Not

Easy to do when you have only one leg. Hope you feel better too.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

Caroline (((big HUGS)))xx

I can only sympathise with you as I feel very much the same way, nothing seems meaningful and I feel detached from everything around me. I have felt marginally better over the last week - well, I've cried every day over something to do with mum and christmas , but it feels okay to be crying if you know what I mean. Just want to send some love to you, havent any wise words, only that we WILL get through this together, and with the help of everyone on here. So dont feel alone, this is too hard to go through alone!

Thinking of you, love and ((hugs)) Sharonxx

Just know how you feel, 17 months on since I lost my mum, struggled to cope since then, and Christmas around the corner with neither mum nor dad around. Why why why.? Denise. x
