My Incredible Mum

My incredible mum passed away this morning. She was diagnosed almost two years ago and fought so hard to battle this hateful disease. She never gave, always had hope and was always positive. She was only 67 and there was so much more living to do. 

Sadly the disease took its toll. However, she was in no pain and died peacefully, at home, with loved ones around her.

At the moment I have no idea how I feel. A mixture of numb, sad, and relief that she's not suffering.

My love goes out to anyone who has been or is in this situation xxxxx

  • I'm so very sorry to hear your lose. 

    My mother is 50 and has been diagnosed with terminal lung and liver cancer, she was diagnosed a year ago and is very positive and is going out all the time. I am never emotional when I'm with her, except for the odd occasion, but cry very easily when she's not around. I feel in such a mix of emotions. I never feel I'm doing the right thing or reacting in the right way. I find her amazing at how positive she is and don't really know how she does it. 

  • Hi Louise

    i don't think there is a right or wrong way to react. Just do things with her, get her lovely treats, be with her and LOVE her. I am so thankful I could that and it means everything.

    At the very base of our thoughts is that we can't take away the one thing that's causing our loved ones suffering. This was something I really struggled with. 

    As for positivity, my mum was the same. I think it's incredible. I think mums also do it to protect their children and that's great too.
