my lovely mum died last Friday

havn't posted here since it happened but my mum lost her 20 month battle with Fallopian Cancer last Friday.

it started in the fallopian tube and had already spread to her ovaries with a pleural effusion by the time it was diagnosed.

we spent a lovely last few hours with her on Thursday evening where she seemed to briefly be the brightest / smiliest and jokey she'd been in weeks. i imagine a last release of adrenaline or serotonin.

then she sadly passed away the next morning at 5.45am

we didnt get down in time but spent 2 hours with her when we arrived.  

still cant imagine ill never see her again. the world seems a different place without her. trying to cope with the biggest loss of my life

  • Hey Jack

    sorry for your loss

    I also lost my Dad on that very same day Dec. 29, 2017.. will be forever marked in my heart and memory.

    It is not easy at all

    I always thought I'd have more time with him. In a matter of 1 month the damn cancer took ghim from us. 

    I know words can't comfort you, but try to think of all the good times and the talks with your Mum.. It has somehow helped me.

    You know what also has helped?..every day for the past week I've been saying "Good Night Dad" to my Dad each time I go to sleep......just imagining his face smiling and replying brings me comfort.

    The pain wont go away for a long time, but I try to focus on my wife and kids for support and try to be the best father I can for them.

     

    Hang in there!
