Hi, I haven’t been on in a while but feeling down today and wanted to reach out. My mum passed in February 2017, her primary was gall bladder. Like most people on here my mum was my best friend and looking back I don’t really know how I ‘got there’ after she left, but you do manage it. I hope for people in earlier stages that gives some hope. Coming to terms with the tragedy of losing them does come and you find ways, believe me. Xx
But my dad died in February 2019 almost to the day of mums anniversary. I am really really struggling. I know it can and has to be done. But losing him has knocked me for 6. Just trying to process it all over again. By god I’m missing them both sorely today.
Hi upwards77 - my mum was my best friend and my world. It really does turn your world upside down. It’s like starting a new life again. I have reached out on here a lot of times over the last few months. It’s a comfort knowing people on here really understand what your going through and you can truly express how your feeling. If you ever want to get in touch, your more than welcome, just send me a friend request. Take care x
Thank you, I will. I know it passes but I agree it’s juat so tough some days, thank you x x x
