My mum passed away today

Today my mum passed away, she was diagnosed with Lymphoma around two years ago, she fought so hard but last month we got the diagnosis that it's terminal and there's nothing else the doctors could do. She's been in good spirits, she said she wasn't ready to die, she fought so hard trying numerous different herbal remedies. Unfortunately in the last two weeks she started getting weaker and weaker she was sent to a hospice on Tuesday as she felt unsafe being at home as she lost the ability in her legs. I recieved a phone call this morning from the hospice to say she's deteriorated then sadly she passed away at 3 o'clock today. I just can't imagine a life without her, I'm 27 and we've been so close for as long as i remember. Is it possible to just get on with your life when a part of you is missing?

    You have come to the right place though to talk to others who have also sadly lost a loved one to cancer recently and I hope that it will help you  to come here whenever you feel the need to reach out to others who understand what you are going through. 

    When you feel ready, there is information on our website on coping with grief which I hope will be useful to you and will help you understand the complex range of feelings and emotions you may experience during the grieving process.
