I lost my dear old mum today..

A sad Christmas for you all. I saw this earlier this evening and immediately thought of you.

It doesn't always get easier and Christmas is especially hard

I'm very sorry, MissAdventure. Even at a great age, it's still a big loss to you.

Sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss MissAdventure
It doesn't matter how old you are or they are it is such a profound change in our lives.

Condolences to you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself over the next few months. RIP Jean you have a lovely daughter.

MissAdventure So sorry to hear about your mum. It seems clear that you held her in great regard. Do stay around on here.

I am so sorry that you have lost your dear mum MissAdventure. None of us can ever imagine living in a world without our mum, can we? And when the inevitable happens, it is truly devastating. There was never a time when she wasn't there and now you have to try to move forward without her, something you can barely begin to imagine.
My heart really goes out to you and your family

My condolences

Thinking of you Missadventure

Sending gentle hugs and hoping you enjoy your precious memories MissAdventure ....?

So very sorry to read your sad news, MissAdventure.
DaphneB, That rings so true with me at the moment. I said I didn`t want to "do" Christmas this year, but the kids all say that I should, so I will.
MissAdventure, it`s just over 12 years since my mother died, it does get easier, but not always quickly.

I lost my lovely lovely dad this week, he was 88 and although he had terminal liver and bowel cancer , he only had one day of real pain. I cant get that awful last day out of my head though. And I keep thinking of things to tell him and remembering that I cant. I lost my mum in the summer but that was very different as she was very difficult and completely unmaternal throughout my life.
Even though Im 60 i really miss my dad
Sorry for your loss, I suppose what we would really like is for them
to be alive for all of our life.

Sending you condolences, MissAdventure. x

and sympathy missadventure and storynanny x

Sorry to read your sad news MissAdventure and it's particularly poignant at this time. 5 weeks of infection took its toll on her. I hope you have some close family to support you while you grieve for Jean, your much loved Mum. I'm glad you found us and you can always come on here if you need some support. ?

Storynanny, so sorry for your very recent loss too.?

MissAdventure So sorry to hear about you losing your dear mum. It is still a shock, no matter if expected. Take your time, be good to yourself and just get through the next few weeks. No one will be expecting anything extra ordinary off you, just relax and go with the flow. Grief is physical as well as emotional so you may experience some weird stuff in the next week or two. Keep posting, it does you good to get it off your chest. for you. X

Dear MissAdventure, I am so sorry that your dear mother has passed away. My condolences to you and your family. May your memories of her keep you strong in the difficult days ahead.

When a Mum or Dad dies they leave a Mum- or Dad-shaped space in your heart that no one else can ever fill. It's like an empty room. You can cover it with metaphorical dust sheets, lock the door and never go in there again or you can walk in there whenever you like and relive the family holidays, the celebration when you got your first job or your wedding day, the endless kindnesses and thoughtful moments, the love, the happy memories, the laughter and the tears. You can cry and laugh, feel sad and rejoice.

Immediately after they have died the pain is so acute that it feels as if you will never be yourself agin, but you will. If you loved them, they will always be a part of you – and if you are a parent and grandparent – part of your present and future family and you will rediscover the special joys you can still find in your empty room.

Really sorry to read that youve lost your dear mum ?....forever now a Christmas star ⭐
