Hi- just joined.

Hi I lost my beloved mother a month ago- the funeral was on Wednesday just gone and the last few days have been especially tough. I suppose I'm looking for others who have come through the darkness intact, to give me hope that I can do the same.

Hi I feel your pain my husband passed away on the 4 the of March x

  I feel your pain too, my Dad passed away from cancer 10th March. There are no words really for how this feels right? I wander where he is? He was amazing, funny, entertaining, silly and loved by all. I have his spirit but I am lost without his banter and jokes..... I laugh with myself now... We were two peas in a pod, I was my father's daughter and so much like him..... time heals they say but it does not help right now right? I cannot imagine living another 40 years without seeing him... So, I get how you feel... When there are times I share a joke with my son or my Mom I then feel guilty for feeling any form of joy.... because he is not here.... How dreadful this is. I am a Christian but it has not helped ease the pain.

I lost my mum 7 weeks ago totally unexpected. I still feel like I'm in shock as well as grief. I'm just taking comfort that she is back with my dad and they happy again together x

So sorry to read about everyones loss. I lost my Mum 6 months ago and it still takes my breath away.
Nattylee, I am also a Christian and the last 6 months have been very dark for me. Keep the faith, I felt my first stirring of joy in 6 months on Easter Sunday so I know it does help.

Just a thought from me for all going through a loss. I wish I could make things better for all of you but we each have our own journey to make. Hopefully the support on here helps
