I lost my mum yesterday the pain is unbearable

My mum was 51 years old and had she was not just my mum but my also my best friend my dad my nan all wrapped into one. She helped me all the time and we spoke all the time. Now I knew the day was coming but I had to see her suffer for 1 and a half months each day got worse. Her last wish was to be surrounded by her close family when she died. Well that wish came true. I was panicking that I would go to the loo or to the shop and my Beautiful mum would pass. But at the end she was suffering very bad and she is now at peace. No more pain no more suffering and you are free mum. I will be lost for along long time. And the time we had was precious. I will treasure every moment . I just feel like Iv lost it and my world is slowly falling apart. I have 2 children to look after and be strong for. I miss you so so much mum its breaking me broken is not the word. R.I.P Mum Xxxxxxx

  • Hi Dunk001,

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss - I can only imagine how difficult this must be right now. It is lovely to hear she was surrounded by family. It sounds like you have a lot of memories to treasure. Keep holding on to those and taking time to grieve and to remember the good times. Keep speaking to others where possible - hopefully you have friends and family around you for support. We are also always here on the forum if ever you need it, and I know there will be others here who have been through or are going through something similar.

    If ever you feel you're struggling and would like to reach out for further support, have a look at Cruse - they have various resources and also a helpline.

    Wishing you all the best,
