Mum at peace now

well my mum is finally at peace now, she passed away at 3.15pm today 3 weeks after been diagnosed with lung cancer, I have been caring for her since that time, I can't the feeling I have at the moment other than   Emptiness.

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, Skyrock. On behalf of all the team here at Cancer Chat, please accept our sincere condolences.

    Thinking of you at this difficult time.

    Warm wishes,

    Oh Skyrock,

    We knew that this time wasn't far away, but I'm sure that you didn't expect it to come so soon. I extend my sincere sympathy on your loss. Everything has happened so quickly for her since her diagnosis, that you must all be reeling at the speed of things.

    Emptiness is a good description of how you feel. You will probably continue to feel like this until you have held her funeral.You will find that you remain on auto-pilot while you notify people and make arrangements.

    Remember that we are still here for you for as long as you need us.

    I am thinking of and praying for your family at this difficult time.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx 

  • Just want to send you a big hug ... even when you know it's coming , it still hurts so bad .. I'm sure she would feel so proud of you for the help you gave her .. I felt when my mum died suddenly , it seemed I was in a dream (nightmare) where every morning I woke up , hoping the phone would ring and she would still be here ... 

    i found the first year the hardest as always thinking 'this time last year' but my friend said to me that I had been blessed to have such a wonderful mum, as hers never wanted her , and she'll never know what it's like having that closeness... but no words stop the pain but it may ease it a little ... over the years I have felt her around esp when I got diagnosed with breast cancer ... 

    so hold on and take care of your heart ️ big hug Chrisie x
