Welcome to Cancer Chat Aliceh98 although I'm so sorry to hear you lost your mum to secondary breast cancer 6 months ago. You have my heartfelt condolences for your loss.

I'm glad you've reached out to us for support Aliceh98 as you'll find so many of our members will know how painful and absolutely heart-breaking it can be to lose a parent they had such a close and special bond with, so you are not alone, and and I'm sure you will receive a lot of support and advice from the community soon.

I hope this information we have about coping with grief will help you on those difficult days, but if you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed or really struggling with how you are feeling then don't hesitate to reach out to your GP or bereavement charities such as Cruse Bereavement Care and the National Bereavement Service for further support and advice. 

I know it won't seem like it right now, but there will be better days ahead.

In the meantime, keep being kind to yourself Aliceh98 and remember that we will always be here for you.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
