Lost my mam

Hi

I find this very strange to write, as I've avoided saying it but my mammy passed away 4 weeks ago tonight.

She died after a 2 and a half years battle with non small cell lung cancer. I live in the UK while my family are all in Ireland. I was extremely lucky to have a work place who supported me and I was able to spend the last 2 weeks with her.

She recieved the best care from our local hospice and at the time we got so much support from family and friends.

Now I am back in the UK and along with sadness I feel a sense of loneliness. All the messages of support have stopped, and everything seems to carry on as normal.

My family who are grieving, I feel use me as their support, and I am used to fill the void of my mam. But there is no one to support me, I feel forgotten.

My friends in the UK offer support by saying if I need anything let them know, but I wish someone would just message me and ask how I am or offer to meet up. 

I'm not sure what my aim is to get from this but maybe it will help to just put it down.
