Subject: My mum's gone

My mum died on Tuesday of a brain haemorrhage and I can't believe she's gone. She had no symptoms and just collapsed, the hospital said they could do nothing for her so we had to watch her dying over the next seven hours. It just doesn't seem real at all. She was my best friend, my advisor, and was always there for me and I miss her so much. I feel at the moment that my life has no purpose at all. What's the point of everything when your life can be taken away so suddenly? I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience who can reassure me it does get easier.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I to lost my mum. 10 Sept 2006, very suddenly. she had a brain tumour, went into hospital on the Monday and died on the Sunday. I dont know what to say to ease your pain, except, as I keep being told, it does get easier, how I long for that day. and i was told today.. you cant live with your mum any more, but you can live FOR your mum. Maybe in time that will happen. Just be strong and talk, dont bottle those feelings up, if you want to cry then cry, scream, shout. my thoughts and best wishes are with you.
