Death

My mum has sadly died. I've not experienced death before so I'm not really understanding what's happening. I feel bad because I don't feel sad, I don't feel anything. Is that normal? She was my mum and I loved her but I'm not feeling anything since she went.

I'm worried about how I'm going to continue on without mum. She did everything for me despite the fact I'm in my 20s. I can't communicate very well. I don't know how to do money, no job, can't cook, can't drive. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I'm all on my own and I'm scared.

    Oh bless you Snowflake and you have my heartfelt condolences.

    Not feeling anything is normal when people close to us die, very much so yes ~ usually due to shock and feeling as such emotionally stunned.


    I'm worried about how I'm going to continue on without mum.

    Well that is in every way understandable and very reasonable at this very difficult time for you.


    She did everything for me despite the fact I'm in my 20s.

    We all develop in our own way and in our own time, and that is to be expected and respected.


    I can't communicate very well.

    You write very well indeed though.

    Well you may be alone physically but in terms of written words the community here will keep you company.

    In terms of dealing with money, cooking and transport etcetera ~ I think it probably best to write an email much like you have here very well to your Doctor and he or she will get in touch with the Adult Social Care team at your local County Council for you, and they will see that your support needs are assessed and provided for.

    Again you have my heartfelt condolences, and bless you every step of the way.
