Hi, lost my mum to lung cancer six years ago. She was taken into hospital on the 23/10/2009. She was given her lung cancer diagnosis the 03/11/2009. She had three sessions of chemo. In the meantime I was trying to get my mum moved from a two storey house to warden controlled for her weeks or days we just did'nt know how long she had. I'm the youngest of mum's six children, was her a carer. She had EDS and osteo arthritis. My siblings had there grown up children. So they were free to help. They just chose not to. I could see that my mum was scared but was trying to be strong for us. I too felt scared and un-supported by my siblings. I felt alone,Mum passed away on the 28/01/2010. I was 29yrs old and organising my mums funeral on my own, sorting her paperwork, dealing with her personal items. I did not know how to start life from here. Everything seemed so pointless . Life had no meaning, no purpose. I'm now 35yrs old and a mother myself to my beautiful 3yr old daughter .I struggle everyday at the moment. My mum missed my wedding and the birth of my daughter.I don't talk to any of my siblings. My husband is not very supportive. I decided to write this post. As I have read others and draw comfort from it. As there where others that understood what a difficult day to day battle life is when you are dealing with loss.
