Re: my mum grew her wings yesterday. 🕊️ 💔
Hi @eylah , so sorry for your loss. Grief is always really difficult to deal with, especially at such a young age. When you're ready, maybe it would by comforting to share some of your best memories of her with friends or family so that you can feel she's present? She's definitely watching over you and you can still have a relationship with her i.e. talking to her and thinking of her when you see things she'd like, although it'll be very different from the relationship that you're used to. Grief never fully goes away but you will learn to live with it and you will absolutely feel love and joy and happiness again.

If you'd like to explore how you're feeling some more, share some memories, or just sit in your sadness, we're here alongside you. This is so hard to be going through.

Good question @Chloe234 - we're actually waiting for the email to be reviewed by our legal team to make sure it's worded in the proper way. When we have that finalised, we'll let y'all know.Is this no longer being sent out today or yet to be sent out?We've had confirmation the community opt-in email will now be sent out to you all on Monday. We're working with the teams here at The Mix HQ to make sure we've got as much time as possible for you all to opt-in by. We'll make sure to keep updating you as soon as we hear more
So no email for now - I'll update the main post to avoid any confusion

Re: my mum grew her wings yesterday. 🕊️ 💔
Hi @eylah, I’m so sorry for your loss. Take as much time as you need to grieve and process the situation. The fact that you were there and spending time with your mum would’ve made it clear to her how important she is to you.
Things may not be okay now, but working through it at your own pace will make things brighter. However you’d like to grieve, just remember you’re not alone and definitely when you’re ready rely on a good support system of friends and family to get you through.
