My mom died... She never met my son.
I'm mexican living in the UK, my son was born on May this year and we supposed to visit on December. My mom died due complications related to her diabetes. I came to Mexico as soon as I knew. I arrived one day and a half later after her death.
She never met my son.
My husband, baby and me are staying at her house, but my husband had to return yesterday because of her job. I will stay here 20 more days.
I feel terrible being on my own with my baby in her house.
I can't believe she is gone. I haven't processed yet. I cried but I try not to do it too much as I'm with my baby all the time.
I feel like my baby is bored of being all day with me and I'm not very keen to play either...I just started crying and the baby starts crying too. I feel like I have to be in a good emotional state for my baby, but it's getting harder...

@Molly thank you, I'll message you
Sorry to hear this. Must be very hard trying to grieve as well as look after your baby. Try to go out for walks and stuff fresh air will do you both good.

I’m really sorry for your loss firstly and hope you’re doing as well as you can 🩷 Whilst not my Mum, I lost my grandad who I was very close to when my baby was three days old so if you ever need someone to talk to, please message me. It must be incredibly difficult being in the house without her there, could you try and do activities with your little one like looking at photos with her in them? Telling your son stories about her? Maybe going for walks where she liked to visit etc. It may even be easier to try and get out of the house. I’m not sure if you have family nearby but maybe visit them too? Sending lots of love 🩷
