The pain of losing my mum.

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 Jolley,

    So sorry for your loss. 

    I have just lost my Mum and feel exactly the same.  Theres nothing wrong with feeling numb. I have been questioning myself these past 3 wks as I lost my Mum on the 25th May 2019. I feel numb.. I feel I should be crying more although I do cry everyday... mostly in a morning or when I m in bed. I thought I would lose the plot when my Mum would leave us all. Infact I'm the opposite.  You see we are given an inner strength to cope with our grief. We all deal with loss in our own way.  Dont be too hard on yourself xx

  • Hiya Sasha45,

    I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of your mum. 

    Thank you for your kind words. I completely agree about the inner strength, which I believe in a way has come from my mum.

    I must admit I still can't believe it and it's been 2 years today that she was diagnosed. 

    I know everyone believes different things, but i take comfort in thinking that her spirit is watching over me and your's to you.

    Take care xxx
