Losing a young adult son to cancer

My wonderful son Edward died aged 23 from a ridiculously rare cancer that was non life style and not genetic.

He was diagnosed in February 2014 and died November 2015.

There seems to be so much support for so many people with cancer but I feel so alone being the mum of a young adult son that I've lost. I understand that it is a small area but with all the terrible things we went through to even be able to talk online with a mother who had no choice but to put her dying son into a hospice full of old people would help me to feel less alone.

  • I lost my son, aged 34 to Cancer. I was a single parent. He moved away from his adoptive Father and my ex wife aged 21. He became hostile to me, for no tangible explanation. The loss is beyond any rational. The worst part is, when you tell people you know, they treat you like a leper. You have to be a happy person?
