Hi Linda, i lost my gorgeous mum yesterday morning at 3.40am and i dont know how i am going to continue with my life. I am 48/single/no children/no brothers or sisters. I have been living and caring for my mum since her diagnosis in March in my childhood family home. She has a labrador called Charlie and i have a Shih tzu called Louie and we are all together the 3 of us today just wandering around the house. The pain is unbearable and i have not stopped crying hardly since she went.......god only knows what i will do. I keep picking up her clothes and smelling them and i know it is so unhealthy but cant help myself....where are you in the UK? Do you have a family of your own? Sending you a heartfelt hug from someone who is a stranger but connected to you emotionally today.xxx

My mam died nearly 8 weeks ago after a 2 year battle with Cancer. She was my best friend as well as my mam.  I moved into the family home, when she first got diagnosed. She went through so much to live longer ( chemo, radiot-herapy, surgery).

I feel so lost and empty inside. I am single, no kids and don't feel I can carry on anymore. Suicide is in my thoughts alot. I just want to be back with my mam
