I’m feeling very distracted and my beloved mum has passing peacefully on 28 February due to stomach cancer. As a elder son I have been through many hard circumstances and challenges adapting these through mental health problems. Who can able to talk with me?

Dear @modestzebra7325
Thank you for reaching out to share about the recent loss of your mother. I’m deeply sorry for the loss. Losing a parent hurts and it’s understandable that you feel distracted and overwhelmed right now. As the elder son who has already faced many challenges with mental health, this must feel especially heavy. Please know that grief takes time, and there is no “right” pace for healing.
You don’t have to go through this alone. If you need someone to talk to, you can reach out to 1771 to speak to a national mindline counsellor. The hotline operates 24/7 and provides access to counsellors immediately who are empathetic and caring.
May I also suggest the following that I have observed helps during grief:
• Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to feel whatever emotions come.
• Try to keep simple daily routines like eating and sleeping regularly.
• Talk with someone you trust or write down your thoughts if speaking feels hard.
• Remember your mum in ways that feel meaningful to you.
Healing from loss takes time, and it’s okay to move one day at a time. You deserve support during this difficult period.

hii, im so sorry for your loss. losing people is really really painful, and its normal that you feel distracted and probably super overwhelmed right now.
if you want someone to talk to, you can reach out to national mindline at 1771, which is a 24 hour helpline and text service where you can speak to a counsellor.
alternatively, you can also use the service wayfinding tool to find suitable mental health support based on your situation and age: https://mindline.sg/youth/mental-health-service-providers/start
i hope you feel better soon
