The death of a mother is one of the most difficult things most people are going to go through in their lives. It has a big impact on your life, whether you have a great relationship with her or not. In a survey, between 20% and 30% of respondents said that losing a loved one was the most traumatic event of their life —even among those who reported 11 or more life-threatening events. In this group, 22% still view the loss of a loved one as their most traumatic experience.
The mother is the caregiver in the family, and her love is tremendously so strong that it can move mountains. Whether you are raised and nurtured by your biological or adoptive mother, her death would make a big effect on your life. The mother is the heart of the family so losing her can cause trauma, depression, anxiety, nervousness, and other physical, mental, and emotional problems.
During the funeral, you might still be trying to convince yourself that everything is real – and that your mother is gone. There might be some days that you will be in a state of shock or confusion. That is totally fine!
Allow yourself to grieve. Let your inner circle know about how you feel and allow them to help you with your grieving. Probably you feel better one day, but feel an intense feeling the following day after the death of your mother. Grieving is a process and it is a lifelong journey. It will never go away – you will learn how to live with it as the days go by.
Some people might push you to move on after a significant loss. But you need to grieve and allow yourself to adjust to the new normal without a mother.
The death of a mother is one of the most traumatic things an individual can go through. If you are in mourning for your mother, give yourselves grace. Whether or not you had a good relationship with her, there will always be heartbreak associated with the real relationship you had or the one you would like to have.
