I lost my beloved Mum to an aggressive form of kidney cancer just 9 months after diagnosis. My mum was only 50. It's been 16 months after she has passed away, the pain and the hole in your heart will never heal, you just learn to live with it. I still cry often but the first few months after her passing were horrendous. Me and mum were very close mother and daughter. I still can't believe she is gone. I miss her terribly and feel empty often. My two daughters and my husband and my close family keep my going. Time does help you to heal, and the pain does diminish ever so slightly. You will learn to move on with your life whilst keeping your loved ones memory safe in your heart. Be kind to your self in the early days you will need a support network of friend and family. Allow yourself to feel what your feeling, and cry as much as you need to. There is no set time line for when you should finish grieving. I am here if anyone needs to talk
