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 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

  • Hi axxx1,

    I am so sorry for your loss. 

    I have just come across your post and I can totally relate to how you are feeling.  My dearest beautiful Mum passed early hours Saturday morning of the 25th May 2019. Its only been 3 weeks. My Mum was 79, she had dementia and was bed bound. Although we knew she was not going to be with us much longer.. it still was a huge shock. Like yourself... I felt and still feel numb! Iv been questioning myself... am I normal... am I cold hearted? Iv come to this one comforting conclusion... God has given me and my family such strength. I thought I would lose the plot.. go off the rails.. be inconsolable. I now know my Mum prayed for us to be given an inner strength to cope. I still cry everyday but I know in my heart shes happier now... in a better place... flying high. Your still grieving in your own way. You just have been given an inner strength to cope with the grief
