[QUOTE="weasel, post: 549518, member: 14"] Sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my dad 8 years ago and I know what it's like. All I can say is stay close to your remaining family and talk to them, about your mum and about how you/they are feeling. They will know you and your mum the best and can sympathise and console you better than a bunch of us can on here. Don't got in for any of that macho "I'm a man, I can't cry or talk about my feelings" bull ****. It does you know good. Long term the emotions need to be worked through. If you suppress them it only leads to problems down the road. You'll end up taking it out, subconsciously, on friends, family, kids etc. It does get....."easier" isn't the word.....'less difficult' with time. You will always love and miss your mum, but as long as you remember her she is still with you. As the others have said, she wouldn't want you to mope around and put your life on hold all because she has gone. But the sudden nature of her passing will take you time to come to terms with. It's never nice to lose a parent, especially like that, but life does **** like that to us. Your mum knew you loved her, she knew your dad loved her. In a way her going like that was less bad than her dying slowly over years from cancer or dementia. It's not nice, and nothing I/we say can make you feel better, but you know your mum loved you and that she knew you loved her. That's all that matters. Remember the good days and try not to dwell on the bad. [/QUOTE]
