I lost my mother and I don't know how to move forward

Hi everyone.

I lost my mother recently, and I still can't believe she's gone. She had cancer and was going through treatment. We hoped she would recover, but then she developed a severe infection that turned into septic shock. She spent time in the ICU, and even though there were moments when her blood pressure and oxygen seemed stable with medications, everything changed very suddenly. Within a short time, her blood pressure dropped, and despite the doctors' efforts, she passed away.

We had so many plans together, including starting our own clothing brand. Now everything feels empty. Things I used to care about, like the gym, weight loss, fashion, and everyday life, don't seem to matter anymore.

I keep replaying her final days in my mind, wondering if something could have been different or if I missed anything. I know these thoughts may never have clear answers, but they are hard to escape.

If you've lost your mother, how did you survive those first weeks or months? Does this unbearable pain ever become easier to carry? I would really appreciate hearing your experiences or any words of comfort because I feel incredibly lost right now.

Thank you for reading.
