I'm really sorry to hear about your mum Gemma. 

My father died when I was 19 and it's a horrendous thing to deal with. My only advice would be to keep her alive within your life - talk about her lots, remember her, show her photos to people, and make her as much a part of those future things as you can. Be honest with friends if you are struggling, and utilise brilli ant organisations like Marie Curie and others for support.

It doesn't make the pain any easier, but she will live on beside you. Thinking of you x

Hi Pebbles, 

We’re sorry to read about the loss of both of your parents. 

You’re absolutely right, losing someone you love at any age can be hard. Thank you for sharing such kind words with Rach2005 and Gemmam1602.

Special days, like birthdays can evoke powerful emotions, we hope whatever you end up doing to mark the occasion that you are kind to yourself and are able to take some time to enjoy the day. 

The charm sounds like such a wonderful idea to remember your parents 💛
