Lost my mum when I was 11

I was 11 when I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. I'm now 18. And I'm still in agony. I'm depressed and it's not seeming to get better. I can't stop thinking about her. She was my best friend and I loved her so much words couldn't comprehend. I loved her. I love her. I still do but how can I love a memory when it rips my heart out all over again?? I feel like everyone has moved on except me. I can't forget.

I don't know where I came up with phrase but I'd always say to her, "my world will end when your heart stops beating" the first time I said it, I was around 9. I guess 9 year old me (who was terrified of losing her parents) was right. Who knew? Not me.

  • I really do not know what to say to make you feel better. This is heartbreaking and I am so sorry that you experienced such a big loss at such a sensitive and young age. I lost my mother 15 months ago when I was 38 and I thought it was too soon to lose her but your experience is definitely not comparable. It'll take time, a long time probably to accept this because what else can we do other than accepting things as they come? You are still very young and I wish from the bottom of my heart for you to have a life full of joy and love!
