My mom died

My mom died in my arms on the 9th of November, I can't get them images and death rattle out my head, I was in shock, left numb.. Five weeks later I went and see her on her birthday she looked so peaceful but my heart broke all over again, we had funeral day after, and even though my heart I know she's gone, in my head, my bubble I've created she's still alive, I just can't find her, I believe she's on her scooter riding round, she hasn't passed away.

I think by not saying goodbye and only good-night I've created my bubble to stop reality creeping in, because I don't wanna deal with it, in my bubble I play my videos of my mum saying hello over and over again,

Is this normal, or am I just delaying the inevitable by not grieving correctly.

All I do is cry, get angry and cry some more, I'm angry with alot of people, the hospital, doctors and cancer its self.

My mom was a big part of my life, and now there's just an empty hole, that night she died in my arms a part of me died too...

 

 

  • Hi,

    firstly I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. It sounds like you had an incredible bond and I feel your pain. I lost my dad to that horrible disease 3 years ago and now my mom has stage 4 bowel cancer. 
     

    I can only go on my own experiences and say that there is no right or wrong way to tackle grief. All I'll say is this...When dad passed people used to tell me that you'll never get over it but you'll learn how to deal with it better. I really didn't believe them as it was so raw at the time but you know what, they were right. Grief is such a strange thing and it can hit you in waves unexpectedly but I promise you it will get easier to deal with in time. Right now it's raw for you and you've just got to let it run it's course but I promise you, there's light at the end of the tunnel. 
     

    Keep doing what you're doing and please remember that there are so many people going through what you are right now. You're not alone and please come on here to talk if you wish. It really helped me to let my feelings out on here when dad passed, people gave me some great advice and I owe them a lot. Stay safe and we're here for you.
