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.

 

  • Like Sabrina u just want them to be at peace and not suffering. When my mum died it was like a happy release she was no longer in pain. Seeing my mum suffer every day broke my heart. Unlike u both Im 44 but losing your mum at any age is devastating. My mum was only 62

  • I'm so sorry for your loss Lucy, I too lost my mum to cancer 4weeks ago & am really struggling to come to terms with the reality of living life without my mum. She only got her diagnosis 4weeks before we lost her, up until then we had no idea she was even poorly. Sitting reading all the posts on here makes you realise how many people have to deal with losing loved ones to cancer. I hope talking to people that understand is helping you find a way threw.
  • Meg I'm so sorry for your loss :( your story is so sad. Cancer truly is the worst disease which affects all of us in some way! Unfortunately for us it has taken our Mums far too soon. 

    Thank you, I hope you too are getting all the support you need and are managing to pull through this awful period. 

    Living our lives without our Mums will be hard, but they wouldn't want us to live a sad life just because they are no longer with us. X

     

  • Hi Lucy, sorry to hear about your mum, its early days yet and although you knew it was coming its still a big shock to the system. When the times right (and everyones different) you will feel the loss and grieve in your own way. It may take a couple of days, a week or even months but it will eventually hit you. xx
