Nobody remembers my mom

My mom died at the beginning of April, (Edwina Batson nee Bant)it was all very sudden & unexpected, I thought setting up this gone to soon site for her would give all the family & close friends somewhere to visit & leave messages, but thats not the case, people just don't seem that bothered, people said it would get easier for me after she died & I know its still early days but I think i'm falling apart at the seams & nobody gives a damn as long as I still look after my home, husband & 5 kids, I know it sounds awfull but I realy can't be bothered to help with the home & kids, all I want to do is sit & cry

Hi Carol - I know what you mean, as I am surprised that so few of my Rachel's friends and other family visit her site. But as Linda says there are lots of lovely people on here who understand how you feel, and your mum will never be forgotten.
Love Sue x

Carol i am so sorry for your loss honey I lost my mother when she was only 36 and my big brother last year and not one of my family have lit a candle for him it doesen`t mean they love him less or miss him less than i do it is just that they feel they dont need to visit a memorial site to remember him by.

RE: Nobody remembers my mom

hi my name is georgina and i am sorry for you loss i lost my dad and brother in the space ov 18mths i understand your pain but pls believe me its true wen people say every one copes in different ways i no it may seem that way and not every one is good at opening up so people cant always talk or share feelings some people even shut it out and shock forms in different ways it can take anything from mths to years to go on gone too soon is hard and painfull and not some thing that every can face that doesnt mean she isnt loved or missed please give them time as they will all have there own found memories.but what really matters is what your mum was to you and how you remember her going on her website is a wonderful and brave thing.x
