  • Hello Updanddown80,

    We are so sorry for your loss and our sincere condolences from the Cancer Chat team.  It must be so raw for you at the moment and I hope you can get some help with the drinking. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about it? Hopefully they will be able to help and offer you the support you need to deal with your grief. Coming to this forum will also help as you will meet others here who have also recently lost a loved one and are struggling to cope at the moment.

    We are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time in particular as your mum's service is coming soon.

    Warmest wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
