Hello,
Sorry that this may be an extremely long post, but I just struggle to put my thoughts into few words at the moment.
I lost my Mam just over one year ago to Ovarian cancer and honestly the grief has not got any better at all. She was literally my best friend, my absolute favourite person, and I cannot continue my life the way I used to without her in it. I am struggling with a range of mental health issues and speaking to professionals and yet still, I cannot truly process the loss and emptiness that I am feeling. I guess I always listened when people told me that "time is a healer," and only now am I truly able to say that they are wrong. I feel like the more time that passes, the further away I am from my last conversation with her, my last hug with her, the last time that I saw her smile or made her laugh. Grief has truly impacted the last year of my life and is continuing to do so now. I have never turned to this site before but I guess I am looking for some advice or some comfort now more than ever. By speaking to people who know how it feels, I might feel a little less alone in a way.
