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.

  • I too have lost my mum to terminal Breast Cancer and she was only 69 when she died on the 7th April 2019 which is 4 days after my birthday so was quite cruel on me.

    I think about Mum every day and sometimes I can not help but cry. I also do have my anxiety problems but have family and friends to support me.

    Remember to stay strong and its useful to talk to someone even counselling helps when you feel down.

    Take good care of yourself.

    I am so very sorry for your loss and at a young age.

    I'm glad you have a supportive family around when you need it as you are bound to think of her everyday and be sad. That won't change as it's been almost 2 years since she died and 2 years today she was diagnosed and I still think of her every day. Hopefully with time the memories will make you smile too.

    I like to think she's still with me and her spirit is watching over us, but I know people believe different things.

    I have thought of counselling as my sister has seen someone, but I keep putting it off. Might have a re think.

    Take care xxx
