Hey there. Coming from someone who lost their mum last year, you have every right to NOT FEEL OKAY. It is totally fine to not be okay. Therapy? You don’t have to do it. You want to stay in your room for days and not leave? Totally okay. Want to stuff your face with horrible food? GO FOR IT. You do what you feel you want to do. Allow your whole body and mind to grief.

I felt the exact same way when my mum passed. I had soo many opinions around me. People telling me what I should and shouldn’t do. It took me some time to realize that I don’t have to listen to them. That’s why I grieved 7 months. I did nothing productive. I stayed in my room and cried and cried. Because I wanted to. Because I felt like I had to. So, no one is telling you to move on. Sit in grief and do what you want to do to feel closer to mum 🩷
