Hi
So my mum died 30/9/20 on her birthday believe it or not at the young age of 62. Mum had frontal lobe dementia and had been in care home for the past 3 years. The home have been amazing with her.
Mum's funeral is Tuesday and i feel like it will all hit me then. But in the grand scheme of things I actually feel okay with mums death. I know its very soon after she's died and obviously i feel sad but i dont feel anywhere near as upset as i thought i would be and i dont know if this is normal? My younger sister is the same really. Im currently on maternity leave and my days are filled looking after my 5 month old baby but on the whole I've been okay.
I just want to know if this okay to feel and is it normal? I know grief comes in waves and effects people differently and i know ill struggle on occasions particularly Christmas and mothers day (which I've struggled with since she's had dementia but overall I'm okay)
Thanks everyone
