Grieving

[Cgreen]

Dear All
I'm completely new to all this. I'm struggling massively with losing my mum to Alzheimers 4 weeks ago.
Please help.
Thank you
Clare

sorry for the loss of your mum @Cgreen its early days, so be kind to yourself and take things at your pace.

So sorry for your loss @Cgreen , four weeks is no time at all. Take things slowly., you will slowly adjust, you never forget, the pain gets less and you learn to carry on. Slowly the days get better and I found the good memories coming back until one day the good ones outweighed the bad ones. 40 years of a good marriage far outweighed the 11 living with dementia. It won’t always rain, the sun will be back.
