Guest Blog Post: My name is Rebecca and I lost my mum suddenly last month

My name is Rebecca and I lost my mum suddenly last month. I find the grief gets very scary and lonely at times and the pain of wanting my mum back is so unbearable. I feel like I am lost and I still keep hoping that my mum may come back. I feel like I will never be the person that I was .  I do find comfort in going to the cemetery ,to be alone with my mum  and to talk-  and i find it helps me to feel calmer.  One of the scariest feelings is that there is no escape from the reality and if feels like there is nowhere to turn . - Rebecca P, UK  becjane@hotmail.co.uk
