    Hi Jodie

    So sorry to hear about your dear Mum. It must be so very hard for you, especially having to go through this at such a young age. I’m probably not the best person to be giving advice at the moment as I’m not coping too well myself. All I can say is go with how you feel. Cry if you want, be angry if you want. As Liz says you will probably feel quite numb just now. I think I was on “auto pilot” for the first couple of weeks. There is such a lot of organising and people to see that you don’t really have time to take in what’s happened. Make sure you look after yourself too-try to eat and sleep. That was my downfall and I ended up making myself quite ill. I hope too that you have many supportive people around you.

    Take care. You are in my thoughts.

    Lots of love and strength

    Liz-Hi and nice to meet you.

    Hi Louise

    Nice to speak to you, Susan has told me to pop over to this thread and have a word with you..... She has been a great help to many people and always seems to say the right thing!

    I've been reading this thread for a long time though and it's interesting to see how you are all doing from week to week. It's very important for others to see that we can cope with our losses by sharing our experience.

    Hope you are ok, I'm not really looking forward to New Years Eve, it feels like I'm getting further away from my Mum, if you know what I mean?

    Jodie,

    it's not silly to cry at all! Hope you are bearing up. There is a link to Supporter Talk on Macmillan concerning fund raising.

    Hi Liz

    Hope you are OK. Like you, I have been reading many of the posts from you and others on here for a long time (sometimes spend hours!!) and it's a great comfort to know that I am not alone and others are going through the same. I am now beginning to realise that there is no time limit to the grieving process (always thought I'd be "over it" by now) and the way I sometimes feel is not wrong. As you say, Susan always has some wise words and she is helping me a lot. I know what you mean about New Year's Eve (Hogmany up here!) and I keep remembering how this time last year Mum was struggling so much with life. However, it's just another hurdle to get over and we will.

    Take care Liz.

    Love Louise xxx

    Hi Jodie

    Hope you are OK. My thoughts are with you. Great idea about the fundraising. I though about it too but never got myself organised. I did run in the Cancer Research "Race for Life" and raised nearly ÂŁ800 so I did quite well. I also bought all my Christmas cards from Macmillan this year. Every little helps!

    Take good care of yourself.

    Lots of Love
