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.

  • Hi  , and welcome. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Grief is a very personal experience and can depend on the circumstances. My father died suddenly when I was 27 and my mother declined and died when I was in my 40s.

    I found that the grief didn't all come out at the start and that it was important to talk about it, so do get some bereavement counselling if you think it might help you. There are all the practical things to do as well and I hope people around you will ease the burden. The pain does ease in time. Be gentle with yourself each day.
