I lost my mum to cancer a couple of years ago.

A couple of years before that my partner and I had separated.

After the separation I went through the darkest days of my life. I couldn’t cope with it. Things were ok and this person just stopped loving me and chose to move on.

I feel guilty that I was so broken after a breakup but coped better with my mums passing.

I love my mum so much. Her passing has changed me forever.

I put it down to the fact that I felt like there could have been something I could have done to fix the relationship, but nothing I could have done to fix my mum.

But this guilt lingers still.
