Thank you Motown and Lavender. x

Thank you Gwyn, yes I do have siblings but we live so far apart. I am in constant contact with them. My Mum was the focal point of our family we lost are Dad when I was only fifteen so she was so much more than a Mum. I am one of eight children and My Mum gave up so much to bring us up and went without a lot of things to make sure we were okay. I look and speak to her photo everyday and remember all the things we all did together. Thank you for your kind words. Linda.

Linda,
I'm sorry for your loss.
It is hard when you lose someone so special to you and the months since March are no time at all for you to accept that she is no longer here and yet at the same time it will feel that it is so long that you have not seen her.
Time does heal and lovely memories help to keep them close. Is there a sibling to share your loss, - someone who will understand so well?

When my Mum died, we realised that she was the focal point for our family and where we would all meet up, so now we make a point of meeting as an extended family at least once in the year, to get together, catch up on news and just celebrate our family links.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Hello Linda,

I lost my Mum in March 7 years ago.

I miss her as much today as I did then. I was inconsolable. I cried rivers of tears.

And yes, she too was in terrible pain, and it was a blessed relief.

You will never get over the loss of your dear Mum, but you will gradually accept it.

You will go through the stages of anger, acceptance, anger again, feeling that no one else feels the same as you. But, you will accept that if your Mum was in pain, she is in a better place.

You will gradually start to think of all the good things you did together, the laughs you had together. Her funny little ways.

Have a photo of her in a prominent place,and talk to it every day.

it will get better, but it will take time.

Take care
Maddie

So sad for you Linda in losing your precious Mum. It is very natural that you would be longing for her, I recognise that feeling from my own past bereavements. It is very early days, and you will experience these intense feelings for a while, but in time it does get better and you will be able to be happy for the good times that you have shared. Post here so that others might give you a big hug, you don't need to be alone.

Lost my Mum in March, I feel so lost I know she is in a better place because she was suffering so much but I miss her so much.
