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’m sorry to hear about the loss of your mom , all too soon ... I praise the strength you have to continue . 

    I lost my mom on 26-6-19 at age 61 to cancer . 6 weeks after being diagnosed she was gone ... 

    the numbness as you all say lasts a long time . I don’t know if this is me dealing with the loss and greif or I’m waiting for it to kick my *** in weeks to come ! 

    i cry every day , sometimes you think you can handle it then it just wipes the floor with you ! If anyone wants to talk I’m here .....

  • Hiya m3l4nie1982,

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

    Everyone is different in the way they grieve and I have to admit I feel pretty much the same as I did mostly numb. I have good and bad days. 

    It's 2 years today since she was diagnosed and it still doesn't feel real.

    There is no time limit to grieving. Your mum was a massive part of your life and you are always going to think of her and miss her. Hopefully with time your memories will make you smile.
