| Subject : My mother has recently died...I feel utterly lost
My mother died on the 11th September last year (2007) following a year long battle with breast cancer. I was so close with my mum andlived with her throughout the last six years of her life, after she and my father seperated. I have never been particularly close with any of my other family members and so losing her has been utterly devastating. I would really appreciate talking to someone who has been in my position before to see how best to deal with all these mixed emotions that I have been encountering.
All the best to everyone of you out there who has experienced loss of someone they love, god bless and take care
Love Harriet
To my darling mother Joanna

So sorry to read of your loss. I haven't lost my mum yet, but my sister died last May, I used to stay at her house to look after the children, whilst she had really strong chemo treatment in hospital, then for a few days whilst she recovered at home. I am doing some photo albums for the children and for her closest friends - more like memory albums. I have found this helps. Maybe it will help you too. Although we are a pretty close family, I think sometimes friends are easier to talk to. If you want, I am more than happy to try and help you work through this difficult time. Take care and hope you're soon feeling stronger. |

Hi Joanna, people say things get better with time, but in my experience they havent. i think this is because i held so much in. my mum died unexpectidly in april 07 and i just bottled everything up and pretended i was ok, so i cud look after the rest of my family. but as time has gone on things have really start to get 2me. i dropped out of college, pushed friends and family away and now i just feel so alone.
i would say the best thing is to talk to some1 how u feel. it doesnt have to be a close friend or family member, ive found the friends i have made recently i find it easier to talk to. i did try coucilling, it wasnt really for me but i would suggest maybe you go for a few sessions and see how u feel about it!
How old are you? Are you close with your dad or any siblings?
Keep Smiling Chick, Always Here,
