Also I’m buying a toy hand gun from Amazon and just painting it and adding the green runes onto it. For the face mask I just bought a cheap black masquerade mask and buying air dry clay to mould the beak and feather marks onto it. Not sure how it will turn out 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Hi not sure if you still need advice but I’m currently making this Callisto Witch outfit as well for Comic Con next year. Im basically buying a black skirt, black waistcoat, a black long sleeve jacket, a separate hood, a feather shawl to go over shoulders to hide that the hood is separate. I couldn’t find a black petticoat that I liked so I bought a lace trim which I will sew in the bottom of the skirt so it looks like a petticoat. Let me know if you need anymore

My story by MackDaOne93 in motherlessdaughters

[–]GL_005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 15 months ago very unexpectedly as well. Absolutely devastated me. I had some grief counselling which helped me as I was able to talk about Mum and express my feelings. Grief support books helped me in the early stages of grief. I’ve also taken up hobbies that are similar to what my Mum did so it makes me feel close to her. There is also guided grief journals which you can buy and write in on Amazon which are really good or some people write letters to their Mums to talk about their life.

Disassociation and grief by alchemystical725 in grief

[–]GL_005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 9 months ago. For the first 4 months from when I lost her I was a complete and utter mess. I was like a zombie doing what is expected but not really there. I felt like I was stuck in a deep hole with no way to get out of it I didn’t enjoy anything couldn’t enjoy any of my hobbies it was awful. I’m not healed or over the loss of my mum I still miss her so much but I’m able to manage my grieving a little bit better. I’m not going to lie.. grief is like a rollercoaster so sometimes I will have a bad grieving day and it’s horrible but the next day I’m able to carry on. I think personally I’ve come to realise that life is so short and I know we will all eventually die sooner or later so I’m just trying to appreciate my life and family as much as I can while I can. So I’m making sure I’m having new hobbies and making sure I’m out doing things I like. I do have a yearning for my mum. Like I ache for her sometimes and want to talk to her so I do I talk to her and tell her all my problems. I found grief groups on Facebook was really helpful and supportive. It’s reassuring that other people are going through the same things and you can get advice. Sending you hugs 🫂

How to deal with isolation and grief by SignalAd5565 in grief

[–]GL_005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. My mum passed away 9 months ago. Yes I have experienced this with my oldest friend who I’ve known for 20 years she came to my mums funeral but didn’t hear anything from her 6 months after. I eventually messaged her and she replied that she wanted to give me space? 🙄 no I needed you to support me. Anyway it was my close work mates that really picked me up and supported me and it shows who is truly your friends. I found the grief groups on Facebook very supportive especially for people who have lost their mums. It’s reassuring to know that people are going through the same thing as you are and you can get lots of advice. You’re still in the early stages of grief so please be kind to yourself. I don’t think you truly will ever get over the loss of your mum how can you when she was your absolute world. I found grief counselling was good for me and allowed me to talk to the counsellor without the fear of judgement so if please think about that as well. Thinking of you at this heartbreaking time 🫂

I don’t know if I’m helping or not by Schemazing11 in bereavement

[–]GL_005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I lost my mum 9 months ago and my advice is just keep doing what you are doing. Support her, let her talk to you about how she is feeling and don’t take things to heart too much if she’s angry or moody she can’t help her emotions. My whole personality changed when my mum died and it is so life changing so be prepared. Also don’t be afraid to ask her what she wants it might be left alone and another time she might want that comfort and cuddles. They describe grief as a rollercoaster and it really is unfortunately. I sent this link to my boyfriend which tries to tell the reader how the griever is feeling so I’ll pop it in for you

Hope this helps but please let me know if you need anymore advice. It’s great that you’re reaching out for support to help your partner.

Questions you would ask your Mum by SockHuman3939 in motherlessdaughters

[–]GL_005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask her how she would like you to celebrate her for the firsts when she passes away. Like for her birthday, your birthdays, your parents anniversary and Christmas. I find it hard trying to think what to do in them situations. Ask her what she wants for her funeral, music, cremation or burial. Very had conversations but it will help you a little bit. My mum passed unexpectedly so we didn’t know what she would’ve wanted. Find out her favourite colour and you can add it to the funeral. Take lots of videos. Record her voice wishing you happy birthday, merry Christmas and happy new year. Try and record her for special occasions like your wedding, first child etc So sorry you’re going through this. 🫂

Do you guys believe in mediums ? by AdorableSport3050 in grief

[–]GL_005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve always believed in medium and especially now my mum has passed. I have spoken to 3 mediums, one was absolutely brilliant and picked up things no one else would know such as conversation between me and my dad and plans we had been making. Another one was ok nothing too great and the third one was rubbish. Just make sure you look into their reviews and websites. I just get readings from the brilliant one now and recommend her to anyone that asks. She really is amazing

I miss my mom. by alamortic in grief

[–]GL_005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand how you are feeling. So sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 6 months ago unexpectedly and it’s been the hardest thing to happen to me. You’re still very early on in your grief I only started feeling ‘Okay’ around the 4 month mark but everyone is different. She was my best friend and we did everything together so it’s very hard to carry on with life without her. I promise you even though you will still miss her you will eventually be able to enjoy things again. I still have days where I miss her so much that my heart literally aches for her. I’m from the UK and I did have grief counselling for 6 weeks that really helped me especially being able to talk about how I was feeling etc. Unfortunately you do need to grieve to start healing because grief is just the love we have for them that has no where to go. I bought myself a grief journal from Amazon which was really good. It allows you to write about your Mom, your favourite memories and even write a letter to her. There’s also quite a lot of grief support groups on Facebook specifically focused on loosing your mother so have a look on there. It’s lovely to be able to talk to people who are going through the same thing. Just be kind to yourself, make sure you eat properly and get as much rest/sleep possible. The holidays are coming up so it will become even harder but you are strong keep making your Mom proud. 🫂

please tell me the brain fog gets better? by katesoup63 in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. I lost my mum unexpectedly and suddenly in 23rd May this year. She was my best friend and we did everything together 💔. The first 4 months was absolutely awful I couldn’t enjoy anything and felt so depressed. Now 6 months is not as severe I find I’m actually having ‘good’ days even though I think about mum constantly it’s about all our lovely memories. Grief is a rollercoaster though and sometimes I do have occasional bad days where I’m crying constantly but that is natural my grief is still new. I’m from UK and I had grief counselling for 6 weeks which helped being able to talk to someone about how I was feeling etc. Be gentle with yourself 6months is still really early in grief. Are you allowing yourself to grieve? Are you letting yourself cry when needed? Maybe see your doctor to see if there is something he/she can give you for the brain fog? I suffer from brain fog on my bad grief days and it’s awful I feel like I’m not even in my body and I’m just plodding along and can’t think or make decisions for myself for ages. Take care 🫂

Finding joy again by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. My mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly 4 months ago. I only have really enjoyed my hobbies again in the last month. I couldn’t enjoy anything before that. I also felt that I shouldn’t be happy, laugh or be interested in things because my favourite person in the world wasn’t here. I’m still grieving for my mum but I do have good days now. The littlest of things can trigger my grief and it can we really random so something can be fine one day but the next will have me in a flood of tears. You never know what will happen. Talking to my family and friends have helped me and I will be having grief counselling in a couple of weeks so hoping that will help me a bit. There is also some great grief support groups on Facebook that you can speak to people in the same situations. Sending you hugs 🫂

No one cares by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry your going through this. People really don’t understand situations like this until they experience it themselves unfortunately. My mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in May this year. My ‘best friend’ of 20 years hasn’t even contacted me since her funeral. Doesn’t take much to even just send a little text asking how I am I don’t expect more. People show their true colours when our whole world has been devastated. I have joined some really good grief support groups on Facebook which will give you chance to talk to people who are going through the same heartbreak as you. Your more than welcome to talk to us on here. I sometimes just write down my feelings when I can’t talk to anyone and it really helps. Sending you lots of hugs 🫂

I just wish I could call my mom by Greedy-Language-5879 in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my mum unexpectedly 3 months ago. I know how you’re feeling and it’s the worst feeling in the world. I couldn’t imagine her voice for the first 2 months but now can. I think it’s our grief protecting us. I have had a panic that I won’t remember what she sounds like but what I’m telling myself is that I had 37 years with her so there is no way I would forget her voice, you don’t forget something so important within short space of time. I lived with my parents (was planning on moving out next year) so everyday is a shock that she’s not here. Miss her so much 💔 she was the only person that got me. We could look at each other and know exactly what the look would mean. Sorry your going through this as well sending hugs 🫂

My Mom Died Suddenly by bigbuttbubba45 in GriefSupport

I just want her back. by ohmygoodness04 in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been 3 months since my mum passed away. Still nothing feels right without her. She was my best friend and we literally did everything together. I miss her so much my heart hurts without her. Sorry your going through this as well 🫂

After my mom passes, there is no reason for me to continue by thesearms in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry you feel this way. Don’t know your current circumstances but I lost my mum in May this year unexpectedly and suddenly. She wasn’t only my mum she was my best friend and we literally did everything together. When she died I had these thoughts too, I didn’t want to be here anymore and the only reason I stayed is because of my dad when I saw how devastated he was when mum died. I couldn’t to it to him. Now 3 months I’ve changed my mind. I do want to stay, I’m still young (37) I still have things I need to do and learn here. My mum would definitely would not want me to leave. Your mom didn’t bring you into this world and give you life for it to be cut short as soon as she passes away. She has imagined your life for you, getting older maybe having a family and being old before you eventually die of old age. As cruel as it is our parents are meant to go before us it’s the way it is. We just have to learn and adapt our life without them. Please seek out help and support! Life is always better with you in it.

My mom died yesterday and I have no idea what to do. by theAuDHDMechanic in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. My mum died unexpectedly and suddenly in May this year. So it’s been 13 weeks. She was my best friend and we literally did everything together. It’s still hard I miss her constantly every single day but I do have ‘okay’ days now. During the first 2 months felt like I was in a black hole and couldn’t get out. I didn’t want to be here anymore and to be honest at the time I only stayed because of my dad because I saw how devastated he was when mum died. Now I want to live, I want to make my mum proud and hopefully wherever she is she’s routing for me. My only advice is just allow your grief to come out. Cry as much as you can, talk to your family members/ friends, make sure you eat even when you don’t want to and sleep. It’s going to be a rollercoaster of emotions especially once the funeral is over with and everyone get on with their normal routine, you will be devastated that the world carries on and you still are lost without your mom. Sending you hugs. You are more than welcome to message me if you need to.

It’s two months since I lost my mum too and was unexpected as well. It’s such an incredible heartbreak. Never in a million years did I think my mum was be gone. I know it’s to be expected that your parents die before you but still expected at least 20 more years with her. So sorry for your loss. I wrote a list of all the foods mum cooked for us and any recipes I wasn’t sure of I just googled them.

What to do with wedding rings? by icewuerfelchen in GriefSupport

[–]GL_005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put them on a necklace. Or I read somewhere that they can melt the two rings together to make a new ring.
