  • So sorry for your loss.

    My Dad died suddenly last July and I am still in shock, and miss him terribly.

    No words can comfort right now, just accept all the love and support you can from people around you x

    My daughter is the same age as you and this makes me feel so sad.

    So sorry to hear about your lovely Mum Faith:(.. I strongly believe that there is always some part of us that knows the people they love are there.

    My Mum died when I was 29, I'm 50 now. You never forget your Mum, but she also gave you a life and she'd want you to live it.

    Thank you for all your lovely words they have been lovely to read.

    Georgie sorry to hear of your loss too and warm wishes to you and your family

    I'm journeying over with my husband and brother to see my dads side of the family today which is going to be hard as I'm going to have to go through all the same questions I've had from my mums family the last couple of days.

    I'm really worried people will think I'm cold because I'm already sorting out the practical things and haven't really cried in front of anyone and I'm being quite methodical with what I need to do.

    I feel like my mum spent the last 20 years training me for this moment and it's all just kicked in so I know what I need to get done and how to do it. She always knew that planning was my coping mechanism when things went wrong and it feels like this is her last way of helping me

    We all deal with things our own way Faith, some of us are more pragmatic than others; doesn't mean we care less.
