I miss my mum

I lost my mum when I was 19 she had breast, lung, liver and bone cancer. It was the hardest time ever for me and for her. Growing up it would always just be me and my mum so for me to not have my mum now it scares me. I am 22 now, it's been three years since I've lost my mum and I feel like I'm still in pain. I've had therapy continuously for a year and a half and it has helped but it doesn't help the fact that I will never see my mum again. I guess I'm writing this here because I don't want to feel alone and I wondered if anyone else has lost their parent or their loved one or a family member to cancer if they find it scary to go into hospitals because it reminds me of everything. 

  • Hi Amy,

    I miss mum too, we lost her just over a month ago. I go back home next week thinking (hoping?) that I would have made it in time to see her but it wasn't to be. It was painful to see her deteriorate the way she did on Skype but I now know she isn't in pain or suffering anymore and she is at peace.

    I know she is watching over her family and I am sure your mum is doing the same for you also. There is one thing I have realised about this horrible disease is that many people go through the same as we have done and that helps me in a way that I don't feel alone in my grief. It's hard though. I am wishing you peace and strength. Take care.
