Hi starling0359,

Sorry to hear about your mum. We have all lost ours but to lose yours when you are so young must be even harder.

Who do you have supporting  you? Can you talk to friends or a teacher? Do you have your dad and any brothers or sisters?

Dont forget you have done so well to get through the last 10 months and are making your mum proud. She would want you to carry on and enjoy life, do well at school etc.

There will be other people on this forum who will also have lost their mum young who will be able to provide some comfort.

Thinking of you.

Please my darling , I want you everytime you feel down think of what's going to make you mum happy . think of it in this way , she might not be present with you physically , but I am sure she can see  you from where she is and it might sadden her seeing you  feeling down . I want you to live life in the way that it will make your mum proud of you ! I to lost my mother to cancer If the bile duct a rare one (stage 4), and my poor mum wasn't treated with dignity , in her last weeks no hospital wanted to accommodate her and the ones they did it was hardly any care and the bill was like she was staying in five star hotel ! Seeing her suffer was destroying me to bits, being far away from to .I was planning to travel to see her as I didn't see her for 3 years , she doesn't live in the Uk . But she passed away days before the day I was going to fly ,it completely destroyed me the way I'm coping is the way I just adviced u to my darling ! Please stay strong and make your mum proud of you ! 

Hi lovely, 

This is Marie, the 27 year old who was about to lose her mom 2 days before her birthday. It turned out that my mom waited until my day, and we had a little party at the hospice while she rested (she was unconscious for about 4 days, but I could feel that she was there with us) and died 2h after 12am.

Let me tell you that ever since I lost her, life seems a bit hard, but there is much more hope out there than the one I had before I lost her. It's like her spirit has mixed with mine and she has given me a new type of vitality. A friend of mine said something to me that really stuck: she is now eternal. There is nothing that can harm her now. Nothing can taint her memory. She will now live in you and, if you believe in anything, please believe that the love your mom has for you transcends life on this planet and any other separating force. No one's telling you not to be sad because that'd be really toxic, I'm saying: allow yourself to feel the way you feel, but then dust your back and start working towards becoming the person that you dream of being... And make her proud. The same way you'd try to do if she were alive.

There is hope, believe me.

Also, as a little tip, don't ever stop writing to her. I have a notebook where I write the things that I would say to her and in my mind I imagine her reading it all from above. Maybe it'll help. 

Sending love and strength xxx
