Any words of wisdom for someone preparing for grief?

Firstly, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I cannot even begin to comprehend it. I’ve not experienced this but I’m here if you wanted to talk. I’d recommend getting some therapy throughout this situation. In the mean time, try to make as many memories as possible. Sending you hugs x

I lost my mom after my second child.... and tbh the hardest parts are now ... hes 2 and will never know her..never get to experience her ...she has had to miss out on all the things and there's no one that would be more excited about all my kids milestones than her.. so..

there is no wisdom to give bc its a loss that compares to no other.. it feels like I'm lost most days... bc I don't have that one person that accepted and loved everything about me .. there are no words I can give other than grieve but be there the best you can for your baby... be the mom and the grandma. And ask your mom questions... take notes make videos of all the things you want to remember and all the things you want your child to know about her... I know it may be hard given the circumstances of her illness.. but my guess is your mom gave you life and knowledge and compassion.. love and resourcefulness.. and the best thing you can do for her and your child .. is to utilize that... give that same love she gave you to your child. I am sooo sorry for what you are going through... its hard ...but it will get easier at times.. use the strength I assume she has had to have as motivation for the strength you will need .. prayers to you and your family ❤️❤️

If she's up for it... see if she can write a letter or a note to your baby... even if it's small or short... it may the hardest thing you have to do but it will have so much worth.. my mom died unexpectedly ... she had a procedure done and the day she was to be discharged she threw a clot and instead of getting the call that she had been discharged and was awaiting a ride ... I got a call that she died... the last time I saw her was the night before with my oldest son where she promised him once she was healed he can come for a sleepover... fast forward to the next day.. him being traumatized by early morning screams and cries...my point is...all you can do is make the most of what time you have left... talk to her... if she's able...get HER wisdom.. bc just when you think you have one more day you may not... again my heart hurts for you and feel free to reach out anytime you need vent or grieve

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this, unfortunately I don’t have any words of wisdom because I lost my mum to cancer very recently and it has been absolutely heart breaking. Some days are harder than others but I have 2 young children who keep me going, I don’t know where I would be without them and I’m just trying to do all I can to keep her memory alive, I have bought a fabric baby book that you can put photos in and there are pictures of my mum in there that my 3 year old points to and says nana ❤️. It’s one of the hardest things that you will ever go through but I take strength in the thought that my mum would want me to go on enjoying my life and she wouldn’t want to see me upset. Sending you lots of love!

Hi, I don’t have advice but found this post because I am in a very similar situation. Two weeks ago we found out my mums cancer was back and in her brain, we’re looking at weeks possibly months and I am currently pregnant with my second. The thought that she won’t be around to see them grow up breaks my heart. A friend of mine who’s mum also passed recently told me you will find new depths of strength that you didn’t even realise you had, that has given me some comfort. If you want to message and talk more than happy to keep in touch, it’s incredibly lonely to loose your mum and I am so, so sorry you are going through it Xxxxxx
