Hi everyone, I know exactly how ye all feel. I lost my mother a month ago to ovarian cancer at the age of 55, I myself am only 28, I am devastated beyond words. I myself have two kids and I have to be strong for them, other than that I wouldn't know how to go on. Everyday I pick up my phone to ring her and tell her something and then reality hits like a tonne of bricks, yesterday my eldest boy started play school. It was a happy but very emotional day as my mam was so looking forward to seeing him. She cherished my kids. They were her world. We used to talk everyday atleast five times and now its gone to zero. I feel as though my heart is broke in two. I miss her so much. I miss seeing her everyday. I miss every little small thing she did. She was diagnosed in march and passed away in august. She was bed bound. Her life turned upside down in the blink of an eye. It killed me to see her so sick. No one should have to bury their mam in their twenties

Hey, I'm reading your message from a hospice room while I watch my mom's breathing slow down. And I hear you loud and clear - no one should bury their mom in their 20s. It feels like there was so much growing that I could have done alongside her, I'm so scared of forgetting all her stories and not being able to tell her nieces and  the future kids in the family. Today it's also 2 days before my 28th birthday, and I wasn't wishing that she'd make it because I know how much pain she's having to endure but I just wish I didn't have to celebrate my life when every single minute after this exact one will feel like needles in my eyes. After 4 years and a lifetime looking after her, I literally don't know how to live without her, nor do I want to. I hope that you have found some hope and willingness to carry on through your children, your mom would be proud just keep doing this for her, if she's anywhere watching you (which I like to believe it's true) you'll want to show her that her legacy continues and that youre implementing her advice, keeping her present but not letting the pain hold you back. That's what I'm planning on doing, I hope that I can. Sending you a warm hug x
