Hi Baby and welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your mum and the concern you are having….. it’s hard dealing with this unwanted situation.
This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we try to direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so you may benefit from joining and posting in our…..
Bereaved Family and Friends Support Group.
……. support group where you will connect with a wide range of members navigating the exact same challenges.
To connect with a group click on the “Bold Italic Links” I have created above …… then once the group page opens click in the [ Black - Click to Join - Banner ] that appears at the bottom of the page and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
When you are ready……. you can introduce yourself by putting up your very own post by clicking [ + Create new post] or [ + ] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
You may find it helpful to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. This service provides practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Please do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community ((hugs))
You don’t say how recently your mum passed away but there us quite a lot of information in What to do after someone dies and many hospitals have bereavement services who may be able to offer support ((hugs))
