My mum died on 15th of February

I have posted on here before whilst my mum was still alive but now she has died. My mum died on February the 15th, I was there with her which I am grateful for as I always knew I had to be. However it has left me haunted a bit. My mum was 52 and she absolutely loved life and did not want to go. Even about 2-3 weeks prior to her death we had been planning her next chemo but sadly it was just one thing after the other for her and nothing was working. She couldn't get treatment for various reasons. She went into hospital due to a serious infection and the doctor had to tell her no more your body can't take any more. It was horrendous. She didn't want to talk about it after that. I asked if she wanted to talk about absolutely anything but she said no. She didn't cry those last few weeks. She couldn't really talk very much. I was so sad. I am still so sad. I didn't really feel like I was at her funeral I didn't cry. But now I feel like I can't cope. I feel so bad for my dad. He's 63. I live with my dad and my brother. I have one very good friend for who I am so grateful for. But I just miss my mum. I'm struggling with uni work too. Don't know why I'm writing this I just feel desperate.

  • Hi Sarahcaro - I'm ever so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum, it's truley one of the the hardest things anyone will ever have to go through, the loss of a parent. You understandably feel like you've hit rock bottom and aren't too sure which way is up right now but I just wanted to write to you so you know that in the future, one day you will start to feel yourself again. Instead of thinking of your mum and the only tears appearing being those of sadness, devestation and pain, you'll reach a point where your tears will represent all those happy memories that the two of you share, you'll remember her eyes and her smile and it'll bring a feeling of warmth back in to your heart because she will be forever with you. I'm now 26 and lost my father 18 years ago - he's still the first thought on my mind when I wake up and the last person I say good night too before going to sleep, but most of all the thought of him makes me smile. You too will reach this feeling of contentment, I'm not saying it will be easy but I can promise you it will be worth it <3 If you ever need to talk, I'm just a message away.
