Hi there, I'm really sorry to see you lost your mum suddenly. I lost my dad to lung cancer 3 days after he was diagnosed. It's very hard to digest what happened and you have to deal with so much in a short space of time. I'm sure your family are hurting just as much as you but being male they tend to show it differently. I've found that my mum is the only one who truly understands how I feel and I know she feels the same too. Your dad is probably trying to be the strong one for you, he had a tough job and must be heart broken. Sending you some hugs x

I am starting to feel a little better about my life now begining to go out and meeting people it will come to you all in time. Best wishes to you all

Sorry to hear that gingernut. Life is so cruel at times. I never knew how hard it would be to loose a parent prematurely. I feel like someone cut my heart out and left a hollow.
