My mum passed away today

My lovely Mum lost her battle to stomach cancer today. 

She had been in a coma for 4 days so we knew it was coming, but it didn't make it any easier. I just don't know how to feel! I love my mum so much, and we've been close for my entire life. I'm only 22 and she never got to see me do so many things.

When will it sink in that she's gone forever? Part of me doesn't believe that she's gone.

 

  • I am so sorry to read about your lose..ts very early for you going through this terrible time, it is a day by day process . you  wlll get through it with rhe help of family and friends .  you will be ii my prayers tonigjt xx

  • So sorry for your loss Lucy. Take time to grieve for your mum. Its hard to accept that someone u love is gone. It will get easier in time but she will live on in your memories of her. Take care of yourself. I lost my mum 11 months ago and miss her so much. X

  • Thank you. I know the next few days are going to be so difficult. I don't feel like I'm grieving yet. It's just so weird and horrible that she's actually gone! I can't get my head around it! :( xx

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. Does it get any easier??? It's just so awful! Xx

  • Thank you Bambitova. Taking every day as it comes is the only way I've managed to cope so far. 

    Cancwr is such an awful disease xx

  • Lucy I am so sorry for your loss, grief is hard , I lost my darling husband 8weeks ago,  it's an awful rollarcoster ride of good and bad days, but hang on in there it does get better . I have really desperate horrible days and days when I think you know what I am going to be OK. 

    Come back here on the bad days it helps to get the thoughts out there. Good luck on your journey and always think about what your mum would want for you. 

    Good luck,  stay strong . Xx Sandra. 

  • So sorry to hear your sad news. I hope you get some support to be able to cope with your loss. I am sure your Mum would want you to try to get on with your life. I have stomach cancer which I am hoping is treatable but leaving my grown up children is a fear as I know they would be sad and I wouldn't want them to be...you take care of yourself x 

  • Sad news Lucy, the important thing is to take your time and grieve over your loss, nobody knows for sure whether it's best to be alone at this time or with others to help you through it, you have to do what's best for you and what you feel most comfortable with. I lost a loved one in early June of this year and can personally say that time really is a great healer and you learn to live and smile again with the wonderful memories you made together. These memories never fade and become even more special with time. Take care.

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your mum, I lost mine to cancer 4 years ago (she nor us knew she had cancer and it was completely out of the blue when she died) I know it does not feel real, at times it still doesn't to be honest. I hope you are getting lots of support

  • I am so sorry to hear the news of your precious mom. My mom passed away from cancer in May and it still doesn't seem real. Please allow yourself time to grieve and don't let anyone tell you how you should feel, there is no way you "should" feel. You will have bad days, "ok" days and the odd "good" day as time goes by. It's ok to smile and remember the good times of your mom because that is what she would have wanted. Take it day by day, and talk with family and friends if you need to.

    God bless.

  • Tbh I dont think it gets easier u just learn to live with it. I still have wobbles now. More so when my 18 month does something new. It makes me sad she never saw his first steps etc. She adored him and Im so grateful he got to spend the first six months of his life with her. Take each day as it comes.  X
