Is it weird behaviour to want to visit the hospital and ward where I last spoke to my mom?
I just have the feeling that I want to go back there. I know she won't be there but it feels like it will comfort me.
I know someone else will likely be in the bed where she passed, I don't expect to go into the ward itself. I just miss her so much I feel like sitting outside and crying.
Is this weird or wrong?
Hi Dashhound welcome to the forum and I am so sorry to hear about the sad death of your mum. I dont think its weird or wrong, there is no handbook for how we grieve and each of us do things differently. You are grieving the loss of a beloved mum and it will take time to get through this difficult time. Going back possibly isnt the best idea for what its worth as seeing someone else in the bed will simply highlight the loss even more.
Dont be too hard on yourself, you will grieve at your pace, in your own time and in your own way that feels right for you and not how others tell you it should be.
Losing a mum is the hardest losses of our lives. I lost my mum more than 25 years ago now at a young age and I miss her everyday still so you are neither weird nor wrong. Thinking of you and sending some huge big hugs your way for now. xxx
