Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.
Glad to hear it all went well, though that never feels like the right way to describe it.
We're burying my 97 year old Nana next week, which is hard enough. I can't imagine how I'll get through it when my parents go.

You never get over it and even years from now you'll have the odd day when it comes back and hits you, but the pain does slowly get replaced by memories of good times had and bad times overcome.
My sincere condolences.
Banter aside you've got a lot of friends here if you need them.

Thank you sincerely for posting that.
I still can't face going anywhere near her house, but the mail will be piling up by now and I will have to face that soon. I can't imagine how I'm going to be able to do that. Just thinking about it is setting me off.
I really don't get the point of life. Why are we here? When I took mum to the hospital the first time, while we were waiting in A&E I saw a priest walk in briskly with his book - I guessed it wasn't a social visit in the small hours - he was obviously about to give the "last rites" to someone. A couple of minutes later I heard a man’s voice and a woman's voice outside the entrance to A&E give a sound that will haunt me always - a mix of a wail and a scream that made me instinctively think they were being stabbed, but it was obvious they had just heard of the death of their loved one. Such pain...

You're no different to hundreds, thousands, millions of people who get through similar things every year. Getting back to "normality" (job n stuff) will help, because you'll have to focus on other things, you'll have other stresses to deal with, and it's stuff that you HAVE to do.
You don't forget your mum, the pain doesn't ever go away, but it becomes less painful and less front-of-mind. So you get back to functioning again.
In terms of the "meaning of life" - not sure that there is one, but as long as I've been given one, I guess I might as well try to enjoy it, and maybe even use it to provide enjoyment, amusement or annoyance to others.
Stay with us Emp, it *does* get easier.
Agreed on the wisdom of @TTony. It does get easier, but everything is so new and raw, you can't be expected to feel any other way. The fact that you're crying means you are processing it and that's healthy.
Most of us have to go through this. Its shit. Truly shit. One of, if not the most, shitty SHIT things ever. But once the processing begins, and you have people to talk to, and things to focus on that are new, the pain dulls.
But dude, you're just days away from the funeral. Don't be hard on yourself or question your emotions. However, do focus on what we are all saying. It honestly gets easier. And one day, you'll be on here telling someone exactly the same thing.
