Hi

I am so sorry to hear of the death of your Mum. It's such a short time ago you are probably still in a state of mumbness. Unfortunately, there is no way through it. We all have to find our own way and what helps one person doesn't help another. Everyone grieves differently - some people cry a lot - others don't cry at all. No-one is stronger than anyone else - we all just cope differently. This is a wonderful site, and you will get comfort from writing and reading replies. I make plans for everyday about a week before and find that that helps me. When I know I have something to do or somewhere to go. I am living on my own now and find that quite difficult. I've never done it before. Some days you think you are coping and then all of a sudden, it's as if an avalance hits you. But you just have to go with the way you are feeling at the time. And don't be afraid to cry. That's very important.

Talk soon

Regards

Audrey

Hi

I lost my Mum on 9th April this year and this still feels like it was only last week to me so its still very early days for yourself. My Mum was in intensive care for 8 weeks before she lost the battle to survive. I am 23, my brother is 21 and my sister 19 and although we are all young we have different ways of dealing with things.

My brother is a very private person when it comes to his feelings and emotions, my sister doesn't really know how she should feel. I was number for ages after my Mum passed away and its only recently that the realisation of what has happened has begin to sink in.

I am currently on the waiting list for counselling, this may not be something that you feel you would like to do but it may help. I also keep a note book where I write down how I'm feeling when I have a really bad day. I also write letters to my Mum in this book and find that this helps.

Everyone will advise you that everyone has different ways of coping but I would say that talking is the best thing but only when you are ready.

My email address is BabyTiger18480@hotmail.co.uk feel free to email me anytime.

Take Care

Lucy
