Subject:She's Gone
My stepmum died yesterday. But to me, she was more than a stepmum. She was a mum to me. I love her so much and it's hurting so much right now. I have mates who are really good, but I just feel as though they don't understand. I feel as though I can't live without her.
It's not sinking in at all. The day has been a blur and all I want for her to do is to walk in and hug us. I wish I had time to say goodbye. Tell her how much I loved and still love her.
I want her to be able to do all the things that she wanted to do. Even the stupid ones. I want her back.
She was on her bike with her mum and there was a collision with two cars. Her mums OK, shes in hospital. People are telling me to stay strong and be brave and how much everyones here for me. But it doesn't change anything. She's still gone and it hurts with every beat of my heart.
I wish it was me, she had so many people who cared about her and she did so much.
I love you Louise

My Mum died a few years ago and the pain is still so raw today. They say time heals and it does a little but you'll always miss your step-mum and it's ok to miss her. I remember the night my mum died i thought it had all been a dream, i was so confused and lost those first days people tried to help but i never felt they understood.

My mum became suddenly ill and i never got to say goodbye it was all so sudden and that still upsets me today but i know she loved me and i know she knew i loved her. I'm sorry i can't help more but it's ok to grieve and i hope this gives you at least a tiny bit of comfort at such a hard time. xxx
