Loss of a Parent

stardustwolf

Hi, I'm a 28-year-old woman, and I've recently lost my mother.

My mum was always my main carer, and I'm finding it difficult to adjust to life without her. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience of losing a family member, especially a parent, and how they've coped with it.

This is my first time writing a forum post, and I'm feeling quite nervous about putting myself out there.

  • Hello   

    It really does take quite a lot of courage to write a post about something deeply personal, thank you for taking the time to reach - as a member of the NAS community, you are respected and cared about.

    I am deeply sorry for your loss, experiencing a great change in our life can be such a difficult adjustment - you certainly do deserve all the care and support you can get in this time.

    while    has provided excellent advice and signposting, I would to suggest several resources:

    Bereavement - Our NAS guide to bereavement

    Autism Services Directory - Perhaps there may be suited resources local to you listed on our service directory.

    I wish you the best going forwards in this time - you deserve the best support available.

    Take care - Zac Mod.

    Hi  ,

    Thank you for your kind and thoughtful message. It means a lot to feel supported by the NAS community during such a difficult time. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and share these additional resources, which I will certainly look into.

    Losing my mum has been incredibly difficult, and I am still trying to navigate my way through the grief. Your kind words and reassurance are very much appreciated.

    Thank you again for your kindness and support.
