Lost my mum

After finishing her treatment for lung cancer and being told that the tumour was shrinking my amazing mum died of double pneumonia 12 weeks ago.im so lost without her xx

  • So sorry. I lost my mum 4 weeks ago. She had cancer but died suddenly in the night from a gastrointestinal haemorrhage and I found her in the morning. Lost is so the right word. I’m ok for a day or two then have a day when I just cry (or have to hold it in if I’m in a public place then cry all the way home). I miss her so much. Sending hugs xxx

  • Bless you this sounds like my life at the moment i loved and still do love my mum this is such a cruel world wish I could turn back the clock but that's nit going to happen so sorry for you xx 

  • One minute I’m ok then out the blue I’m crying in the street and don’t know what to do with myself and I find myself just walking around not knowing where I’m going xxx

  • I’m the same. Nearly abandoned my shopping trolley in Asda today. I’m normally a pretty tough person but this has knocked me for six. I’m still off work, going back to see the doctor on Tuesday. Do you have a good support network? I’m told the way to get better is to talk about it but I feel like it’s all I talk about.
  • I do have family but they tell me I've got to get myself together the funeral isnt till the 26 th of April and mum died two weeks ago today so I'm very raw i dont stop crying and still can't except her going so yes I don't stop talking about her also im going crazy and feel guilty im breathing eating and carrying on I know what you are going through x 

  • Do you have any friends who have lost a parent so can relate? I’ve been comforted by 2 friends who have gone through the same thing and come out the other end. 

  • Hi . Im so so sorry for your loss, I lost my mum January 5th . It is just horrendous. I get what you and others are saying in regards to lost. I sit for a long time just starring at a photo or in to the garden just thinking of mum. I feel like the stuffing has been taken and don't really know what I'm supposed to do . The one thing I have noticed We are not Alone!!! I know it's tough to talk as it feels like no one understands, yet on here, people do listen, they do offer great advice even if at this time you don't want to take it, but it does feel like others do understand, your not alone.... Keep talking, we're happy to listen.

    massive hugs hunny xx

  • I'm going to see my old friend who lost her mum three months ago i dont think I'll ever get over losing her today was ok till i completely broke down, i know i will have to cope its just hard but thanks again x 

  • Thank you it’s nice to know I’m not alone in this .My mum would want me to pick myself up and carry on with life which I’m trying to do but it’s so hard not having her in my life know more.I still have her ashes because I feel she is close to me don’t think I will ever to be able to scatter them xxx

  • That’s what people were saying to me that I had to pull myself together and my response was please don’t tell me how to grieve for my mum.We all have a right to cry be angry and deal with this nightmare the way we need to.Since mums funeral I have know contact with family and can not talk to my dad and sister about how I’m feeling so feel quite lost xx
