Any advice surrounding grief?

I have an almost 9 month old,8 year old and I am 3 months pregnant. Last week I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. Within 5 months of being diagnosed she passed away. She was a single mom but I adored it that way because that meant she gave us double the love that any child deserves. Is there any advice to be able to be strong for my babies? I still feel like she went on a trip and that I will see her in no time. Next week she will be cremated but I just feel so overwhelmed. She was my whole world 😭

I am sooo sorry for your lose. My dad also has pancreatic cancer and has a 2 month life expectancy, I am having a hard time dealing with it. I have 2 kids under 2 and sometimes it gets hard and I don't like to cry in front of them cuz my oldest gets upset. I hope you the best and just try and take it one day at a time.

When my daughter was born she came over almost every day and I will cherish that forever. The only reason she stopped coming was when she went to the hospital and got diagnosed. My mom always told me that time on earth is just borrowed so we have always been aware that time is valuable. When you have people who have a huge heart it so hard to not be able to reach out anymore. She would check in every day and not getting those messages now just makes me miss her even more. Within 5 months of being diagnosed she left this Earth and I think thats the reason I have trouble accepting it. I'm sorry to hear about your dad, I know he will overcome that expectancy that was given to him. Sending the best get wishes for him and you are a strong momma. I cry too even if it's a quick one and I do feel better after.

No advice from experience but maybe you can wear her jewelry or make use of her clothes for yourself. Honor her in all they ways she made you happy.. listen to her favorite songs, eat her favorite treats, watch movies that remind you of her. Give yourself grace to process whatever emotions come up. Sending love 💕
