Hello,
I have lost my mother only 2 months ago I use to I've in Adelaide where I lived with my mother. I have 6 other siblings and I am the youngest the rest are all independent but. Am the only dependant one left at 18 and so because of it I had to go live with my father in Brisbane, I have lost my mother, my house, my pets, my furniture, most of my belongings, some clothes. I sat with my mother at the hospital throughout the past 2 days not sleeping, I joined in in the organ donor decision as she died at a young age and didn't have a will so as a family we had to decide I carried her at her funeral to her spot which was the hardest to do as I saw how deep the hole was. I am still grieving and I am not coping sometimes at my new job as I see people that look just like mum and I'm living with my dad's partner too who has very weird ways of living which is ok but i am finding it tough to adapt sometimes. Had anyone else lost there mother st a young age? How did you feel? did you do things to help you cope?? :)

Yeah, my mum died very suddenly she had a bleed to the brain she only felt a headache as she went unconscious luckily. I know she is still with me which reassures by me. I believe in spirits and my family we very connected to that stuff so I get signs from her all the time she loves burning outthe candle I brought her lol. Yeah I cry a lot. I am actually scared I am going to forget sometning about Mum so I’ve written memories down on my phone whenever I think of them and I’m goinf to write them in the memorial book where people have written that knew Mum in and as her newspaper spot in it, her writing, u also write about my day every day im a journal so then I can look back at it a year later. I like talking about her I don’t feel sad talking ahit her cause I am basically ‘celebrating her life’ although cause I had moved states I don’t know anyone except my dad and his partner so it’s hard to talk about my Mum as I don’t know how they will react as they know I am grieving. Cause Mum was a organ donator I have free counciling I am able to take which I am doing and I find it helpful. I just feel very isolated and alone living here in a different state as my boyfriend is somewhere else and I don’t know anyone. And as in a teen at 18 I am at the age where I want to explore new places, have fun with people my age I nevertheless had the opportunity to do that yet as Mum was a bit protective of me.my life basically feels like it’s on hold till I get my license, meet people etc.
I have had a encounter where I was working and I saw a women look just like Mum walk past me and I went into a panic mode as my brain was rereminded she’s gone and that it’s not her it wasn a stab in the heart I couldn’t breath properly or anything so that the hardest part I am dealing wth right now and the fact that all my csntimenal belongings are in adelaide and I really hope they are safe. As I have had stuff that’s of my belongings being chucked outed and offers to people as my sisters and brothers thought it was mums it was heart breaking. I’ve lost a lot of things that are important to me. I know though that I will be ok in the long run, I just really miss my mum, my boyfriend, my pets, my house, my old room, my stuff, my clothes, my friends, my job, my dancing, etc this is not the first time I have had to restart my life as I have moved from primary school to high school where I moved stayed with Mum while Dad stayed back which is why I’ve moved back here cause Dad is here
I'm so sorry to hear your story and to be honest I don't know what I can say that might help. The good thing is that ur talking about it. I know what it's like to lose your mum. My mum died too young.
I know she would have wanted you to have a good life. That's going to be hard whilst ur still in pain but I hope someday soon u can remember her life more than her passing.
Keep talking, it helps.
