My mum has passed. How can she be gone?

My beautiful mum passed away today.

Excuse my french but what the ***.

I don't understand what we are all doing here. I feel empty and numb and I hate all of this. 

How can she be gone? I don't believe in there being a god or any of that, and if he does exist he is a ***. I just find it so hard to comprehend that she is gone. What does gone mean? We saw her body and it was cold but she wasn't there. Where did she go? Is she watching down on us? I just don't understand how someone can just stop existing. 

I hope she is somewhere in the universe, able to watch down on us. I just wish I could tell her how much I love her. 

I hate that any of us have to go through this. I hate cancer.

She was only 48, and I'm 18 supposed to start uni next year. It feels like such a lonely journey now. A life without mum, without people who understand. My life ahead seems so tedious and long now, to be spent without her. And my dad, and my brother, who is only 16, they don't deserve this. No one does. I don't know how we are going to get through this. I feel so lonely. My heart is broken. She needed to be here for us. Dad said her biggest fear was leaving my brother and I. Why did she have to go? 

I uploaded a photo of her and I as my profile picture.. I wish she could smile and be happy like that again.

 

Mum, I love you so so so much. You are in my heart forever, and I will miss you until the day I die. I hope in another world I will get to see you again and we can be together forever. I want to hold on to you so tight and never let you go, but you are gone now. I miss you, I love you, my heart is broken for you. Maybe in an alternate reality none of this happened and you are alive, and we are happy and unbroken xxx 

 

  • Hi Jess

    i read your post today the first time, albeit it's 2 years later, but I am sure from your message time probably has no meaning, and everything you wrote struck a chord with me, as I also recently lost my mother and think of her all day everyday. Bless you and your family and I hope some form of healing has found it's way to you all.

  • I have only just read this. I believe in signs and gentle pushes towards where we need to be. I just found this somehow. My Mum is on the End of Life Pathway. I have fell apart. I have never felt anything like this. The sadness is overwhelming me. It feels physical. I wish I could take Mum's place. I wish I could travel to meet my future self in a year and see if I copied. But finding these posts off your lovely people, I suppose, in a way, I have done that now.

  • Hi Terry - a very stressful time during the end of life pathway, as I went through the same with mum this time last year. Use this time to whisper thanks for everything to your mum (although I'm sure she already knows) and anything else that means a lot to you, I look back at this time as special

     

    blessings

     

     

  • Thank you. I swing from sadness to meloncholy to guilt to unbearable heartache. I do speak to her yes. My Dad is with her. They have been married 66 years. It all seems so unfair. Terry

  • I honestly have not related to a post about losing a mother more than I have this one, everything you said I feel. Forgive me because my mum didn't pass from cancer but I just couldn't leave without commenting how much I relate to your post.

     

    my mum has been gone 4 weeks now and I literally feel the same! Where has she gone and what the hell? My mum has actually died!! It's unbelievable and I cannot believe it still even though I have seen her with my own eyes and felt her with my own hands. It's ludicrous to me that she is no longer here. It gave me comfort knowing somebody else feels the same as me. I am so so sorry for your loss and I hope time has helped at least a little since your mum passed xx

  • I second everything you have said. The original post was exactly how I feel now, my mum died 4 weeks ago and it is inconceivable to me that she has gone forever. How are you feeling now?  I cannot even imagine a life where mum isn't present. I miss her so much and want to call her everyday to tell her things xx

  • Hey Amy,

    I thought I would link this for you to read - I remember finding it when my mum first passed and it resonated so much, it's such a beautiful metaphor. It's the top comment: www.reddit.com/.../

    I hope it resonates with you too x

    It's weird - for me, it is coming up to 5 years without her. Her not being here is honestly still incomprehensible, and I find it difficult remembering what it was like when she was here beause my life has changed so much since she's been gone. I think about her every day still!

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. Life is just so unfair sometimes. I write to my mum in a diary every now and then, it brings me a bit of comfort, maybe it will help you a bit too.

    So sorry about your mum and that you are going through this, sending you love and hugs! x

  • Dear Jess, I am so so sorry that you lost your wonderful mum. That must have been such a shock and devastating for you to have to go through. I know how it feels, nothing on earth can prepare you for the pain and loneliness that comes after. I lost my mum as well after she had breast cancer and I struggled so so much and felt the exact same way as you.

    I know I can't say much to help you as not a lot is going to stop you hurting right now. But I want you to know that you are not alone in feeling this way. 

    Keep talking here with us, talking is a big help through these horrible times. I wish I'd come here when my mum passed away.

    I'm sending you all the love and hugs in the world, ️

    Love Jess (I'm a Jess/Jessica as well) :)
