The pain of losing my mum.

Jolley

I lost my mum last September just 2 months after diagnosis, and have felt numb ever since. I threw myself back into work and have tried to keep myself as busy as possible. Since Chistmas I have been a bit up and down. I have times when I cry for hours and then I go back to feeling numb again. I have also been having panic attacks. It just doesn't seem fair as she has only just turned 60.

    Hi I hope your okay. I lost my mum on the 3rd of March and she was a young age of 39. Life can be so cruel sometimes but we just have to keep on going and thinking what they would want from us. Numbness is the worst feeling as I’d rather feel sad but everybody’s deals with it different so don’t feel like your doing any wrong x

    Hiya axxx1,

    I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss at such a very young age.

    It's so hard to deal with and yes life is very cruel at times. I feel like there is a whole in me now that will never be filled.

    It's been 2 years to the day that my mum was diagnosed and I still can't believe it. 

    Very wise words about carrying on and them wanting that for us. They will always be with us in our hearts and memories.
