I'm devastated my mum has gone I can't believe it. It's my mum's funeral on Monday I'm not sure how I'm going to cope.
Hello Monkeys
I am really sorry to hear that your Mum has passed away and it is her funeral today.
It is naturally a very difficult time for you and your family and there is no right or wrong way to cope. I remember feeling a whole range of emotions and found it best to just go with the flow. At times I felt upset, at times numb and at times I felt like I was just going through the motions.
Today is going to be hard at times but it is also a day to think of Mum and share some memories of her. I felt a great comfort in seeing others who also were not only grieving but were also celebrating her life.
Take today, one step at a time and if you feel like you need to talk to someone later, then please do give the Support Line a call.
I also found Home - Cruse Bereavement Support helpful.
I hope that today goes as well as these things can. In the meantime, we are here if you need us.
Jane
