im 20 and just lost my mum, how can I cope with the grief

my mum died the day after mothers day this year. She had Lung Cancer coursed by Asbestos. The nurse’s were brilliant and she died in her sleep, but now I feel guilty becasue I feel that I didnt do enough for her when she was alive. When I found out about the Cancer I didnt speak to my mum about even though I could tell that she wanted to talk about it. I also spent less time at home, when I should have stayed to support her.

I know how you feel, I just lost my mother as well. First, don’t look back with greaf for what you didn’t do, look back with gladness on what you did do. She loved you and you owe it to her do do the best you can with the life she gave you. As far as the canser, if it was aspestos, there are legal suite going on to get you compensation for that. Look it up. Good luck, live well, she would want you to be happy… Jeff TBP

Coping with Grief and Loss

Welcome to Fun Advice!

  Friendship is continuous!

Those whom I meet, as Friends I greet, And as a Friend I treat them so; That when in need, or sadly grieved, I may help their Spirits grow.

So when I hear, upon my ear, The sounds of troubled Souls; I can do no less, then to do my best, To help them toward their goals.

And I know I’ll find, with the passage of time, That I’ve helped their Spirits grow some; And though appreciated, thanks aren’t awaited, For my friends are always welcome.
