How do I cope with losing my Mum

My Mum has advanced pancreatic cancer which has spread to her abdomen. I am so so scared that she doesn’t have long left. She was diagnosed a year ago and I should have made the most of that time with her but I just wanted to live like normal because I just couldn’t accept it and dont think I ever will. I honestly don’t know how I am going to live my life without her.

    I am so sorry to hear of the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer for your mum.

    I lost my mum in May this year age 68 to advanced bone, liver and stomach cancer after weeks of missed phone calls and desperate messages from my dad her next of kin saying he had something important to talk to me about, I ignored his requests as decided it was nothing so serious ''denial of it possibly being my mum becoming poorly'' she sadly passed away in hospital on 7th May and was buried in a catholic church service surrounded by her family, close friends and loved ones who knew my mum well. I have visited my mums burial place in Altrincham on her 69th birthday recently and spent quiet time at her burial site, sometimes I just wish people would just check in on how I am feeling living without my mum as I often think about her and wish I could contact her when I need to but I can't, the only comfort I have is that she is at peace in heaven having fulfilled her life.

    Time is a great healer.
