I lost my dear old mum today..

MissAdventure So sorry to hear about you losing your dear mum. It is still a shock, no matter if expected. Take your time, be good to yourself and just get through the next few weeks. No one will be expecting anything extra ordinary off you, just relax and go with the flow. Grief is physical as well as emotional so you may experience some weird stuff in the next week or two. Keep posting, it does you good to get it off your chest. for you. X

Storynanny, so sorry for your very recent loss too.?

Sorry to read your sad news MissAdventure and it's particularly poignant at this time. 5 weeks of infection took its toll on her. I hope you have some close family to support you while you grieve for Jean, your much loved Mum. I'm glad you found us and you can always come on here if you need some support. ?

and sympathy missadventure and storynanny x

Sending you condolences, MissAdventure. x

I lost my lovely lovely dad this week, he was 88 and although he had terminal liver and bowel cancer , he only had one day of real pain. I cant get that awful last day out of my head though. And I keep thinking of things to tell him and remembering that I cant. I lost my mum in the summer but that was very different as she was very difficult and completely unmaternal throughout my life.
Even though Im 60 i really miss my dad
Sorry for your loss, I suppose what we would really like is for them
to be alive for all of our life.

So very sorry to read your sad news, MissAdventure.
DaphneB, That rings so true with me at the moment. I said I didn`t want to "do" Christmas this year, but the kids all say that I should, so I will.
MissAdventure, it`s just over 12 years since my mother died, it does get easier, but not always quickly.

Sending gentle hugs and hoping you enjoy your precious memories MissAdventure ....?

Thinking of you Missadventure

My condolences

I am so sorry that you have lost your dear mum MissAdventure. None of us can ever imagine living in a world without our mum, can we? And when the inevitable happens, it is truly devastating. There was never a time when she wasn't there and now you have to try to move forward without her, something you can barely begin to imagine.
My heart really goes out to you and your family

MissAdventure So sorry to hear about your mum. It seems clear that you held her in great regard. Do stay around on here.
