My mum died to

I lost my Mum today to liver cancer. We were told mum had a few months but unexpectedly my mum died today . I am finding it difficult to process as you can imagine. My mum seemed fine and the next Mum deterioated and became panicky , the doctor arrivd gave mum an injection that made her drowsy mum gave a good fight until the end that's when I watched my mother take her last breath. I was wondering if anybody had any tips/advice.

thanks 

  • Hi Mary

    Its the saddest day when you lose your mum, you were there for her at the end and that is such a good thing to have done for her. Also it will help you grieve, knowing you did everything you could for your mum. I don't have any tips or advice as everyone grieves differently, some people need to go somewhere wild where they can scream their head off and others spend time in quiet contemplation. If you can it helps to speak about your mum and all the nice memories you have of her. Lots of good wishes for you and your family. Kim

  • I'm so sorry for your loss it's truly Heart wrenching My mum very quickly deteriorated aswell, we all thought she had longer but suddenly went down over a couple of days it was like she had accepted to give up and just let go. Within 18 hours of the injection she was gone. I also watched my mum take her last breath and that moment will never leave you, find strength in the fact she is no longer suffering although this is very hard to accept. Life will never be the same but we have to live on and find some sort of happiness without them, even though a huge hole is left In our lives they would not want us to bury ourselves in grief forever.
