Missing my Mum

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer 15 years ago, she had chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy and radiotherapy. Even though it was an awful time my lovely Mum just got on with it and luckily she got through it.

In May she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer which had spread to her bones, she went to oncology in June and  was started on a course of chemo tablets she developed pneumonia and passed away the beginning of July.

I miss her so much, I think about her all the time and want to talk to her, I feel she didnt know how much I loved her. I feel so sad that she had such a horrible end to her life.

  • Hello 

    It sounds like we are in a similar situation. 

    My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 and in March this year, we found out it had came back. My mum sadly passed away on 4th August. 

    It's incredibly hard. I know it's not even been 2 weeks yet but I can't even describe how much I miss her and how much I hurt, I don't think I'm ever going to feel better. 

    I think it makes it harder when you know someone was so poorly and suffered at the end. Have you had any counselling? Xxx

  • Hi, 

    I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum , It is scary how days seems to pass... 2 weeks is no time at all. It is truly heartbreaking.

    I haven't had counselling yet but wouldn't rule it out,my Mum passed away 6 weeks ago and it feels like yesterday in some ways but at the same time feels like years.

    Her funeral was 3 weeks ago and I thought that I would have had some closure from it, but I think the organising of the funeral and clearing her house kept me busy.

    I constantly remember her death and feel so shocked by it. 

    I actually feel better knowing I'm not alone feeling this way and I'm not going mad. Have never posted on any forum before, but I'm hoping putting it down here will help me make some sense out of it.

    I really appreciate your message and hope that through talking we can realise we are not alone. xx
