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.

 

  • That's so sad :( I worry about when I have children, as my mum will never meet them or see them do anything. Just be thankful that she met him and adored him so much. I'm sure she's looking down on you both! Xx

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum, Antoni. Thank you so much for your advice, it's nice to talk to people who know exactly how I feel. It really is a case of taking each day or even minute as it comes!

  • I'm so sorry for your loss too. I'm struggling to accept that I will never ever see her again. I don't think we'll ever stop missing our mums! 

    I'm dreading Chrisrmas and birthdays. I feel like nothing will be happy/the same without her around. How have you managed with these things? X

  • Keep talking on here and anywhere you feel you can or want to. We are all here on the journey , different but the same. We will read your posts and cry and smile with you. 

    My respects to you xxxxxxxxxx

  • Oh Sandra, I'm so sorry that you lost your husband recently. That must be so awful!! 

    Thanks for your great advise. I'm expecting the coming months and possibly years to be a horrible roller coaster of grief and sadness. It's nice to know that good days are possible, as at the moment I just don't see how it will happen.

    Stay strong xx

  • I'm so sorry that you too have stomach cancer. :( I'm sure you're being so brave for your children and I hope that you're getting the care and treatment you need. Xx

  • Thank you. I feel sad that I never got any photos of her with him. She hated having a photo taken. I have photos of her with my 3 other children. When u have children u will b able to share your memories. X

  • So sorry to hear your loss. Im also 22 and lost my mum over the weekend. She had ovarian cancer. After the funeral it sunk in and made me realise actually my mums not suffering no more from horrible pain. Everyone kept telling me this at the funeral. Im still hurting and crying and we willl never get over it but it'll become easier to live with. There's a part of me now that is happy knowing she's resting in peace now and not suffering no more, Nobody likes to see their loved ones in pain do they?

    Time is a healer. And you never know the funeral might make things a lot clearer for you, everybodys different, but i hope it does. You've gained a angel thats always going to be looking over you rememebr that.

  • I'm so sorry that you're in the same position! 22 is way too young to have lost our Mum's. :'(

    Thank you, that's made me feel a little better and like you said, at least she's not in pain anymore. It was so hard seeing her struggle , especially towards the very end. 

    I hope you're doing ok and are taking the time you need to grieve your Mum. Xx

  • Im glad thats made you feel better. 

    Ever need to talk im here xx
