I lost my mum last night I am broken.

For the last 11 months I knew this was coming, as soon as she was diagnosed it was nothing but bad news and pain. Last night me and my father sat with her as she passed away peacefully at a beautiful hospice. The hospice staff were brilliant from the start but I am truly heartbroken and I have lost the light in my world. I know i must carry on for all my family and for those who have also lost the battle. My mother put up the strongest fight ever, the doctors expected her to pass way sooner than she did but she held on till the very end. I am so proud of you Mum, I will miss you more than anything but I will see you again one day my love. I love you Mum. xxxxx

    I am so sorry for your loss Grace. It's going to be a very difficult time for you and your family and I pray that God blesses you with peace and comfort during this time.

    My husband passed away 3 weeks ago from Leukemia. I have found that keeping busy has helped me a lot.

    It's all still unreal for me. It's the quiet times that get to me.

    Keep busy! Allow your mind to wander. Sit down and cry no matter where you are or what you are doing when the need arises.

    Hope to keep in touch with you. Talk to me whenever you wish.

    I am Berney and I live in South Africa so our time zones might be very different, but just chat whenever and I'll keep a look out for your messages too.

    Stay strong girl!

    Hi Barney thankyou for your kind words. so sorry for your loss it is so hard when they are taken to soon. God always needs more angels by his side, that's why they were taken. I will try and keep busy I just don't want to sort out all her things at the moment it is unbearable. We must continue to stand up to these horrendous diseases! 

     

    lots of love xx

    Hi Grace I lost my mum just over three weeks ago to bowel cancer. She also passed in a hospice after what proved to be a short battle which she fought to the end. Im 39 and can honestly say this is the worst thing I have ever had to go through in my life like yourself I am devastated. My mum was everything to me and my children and was a healthy fit woman till she was taken poorly four months ago. There is absolutely no hurry to sort out your mum's belongings I am no where near ready to start sorting her clothes and things out yet. I'm only dealing with what needs dealing with right now. Lots of love to you at this sad sad time Kirsty xx

Its the worst thing ever to lose your mum and unless you have been through it you will never understand, rip to our beautiful mums xxx

    Hi Grace,

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it is tough but keep strong!

    My mum sadly passed away yesterday too from an aggressive form of secondary lung cancer. I can imagine what you are going through. She was only diagnosed on the 17th April and passed yesterday. I'm so heartbroken but all that suffering I witnessed was awful. She is in a better place now with God.

    I pray God bless you with peace during this difficult time.

    Lots of love xx
