I miss my mother

I miss my mother

When my mother died I felt immensely sad. I still cannot say that time heals, when I think about my mother and how she fought her disease and how we found her... I get the shivers.

I feel the need to talk, but I have the idea that the people around me do not share that need or even avoid me. Maybe they are afraid I get emotional. Sometimes that is so, but not always.

So I cry secretly, alone. When I do that, I can relax again.

I feel I miss her in my whole body. Sometimes I don´t know how I can do without her.
And other moments I feel fine, because I know that she is proud of me and how I am doing.

I would like to feel more joy again, but there are so many things that remind me of her.

I miss my mum so much too. Some days are harder than others. I too cry alone by myself. Mainly because I don't want to upset anyone else? I have a really supportive partner who has also lost a parent so I know she understands, but I also don't want to upset her or remind her about her loss speaking about my loss. I just feel really lost. My mum was such a lovely person and I don't think she's truly "gone"but I feel like I've lost a huge part of who I am.
