I lost my Mum in August 2018, Dad in January 2017. Dad was not only my father but also my best friend as we shared many interests and hobbies. Needless to say I was devestated at losing him as I was his live-in carer for about three years.
Losing Mum has affected me more than I was expecting as the relationship I had with Mum was nothing like it was with Dad, and now I am suffering more so because of the realisation of how much I really loved Mum but did not know how to convey this to her before her passing.
Some advice I would give to you Debbie is to really use this forum as it will help you to refocus youself as you try and carry on with the life you now have without your Mum.
Iam sure you feel like there are 101 questions now left unanswered and another 101 new questions have cropped up which you will find difficult answering and that is why we are all here in an attempt to smooth over the difficult times ahead for us all.
The fact I am now here on the forum will convey my thoughts and open love to you Debbie and all those in a similar stiuation.
Regards,
number 6.
