My Mum

Hi there

 3-4 weeks ago my mum sadly passed away of ovarian cancer, she was only 53. I'm 23 years old and I have two brothers and my dad. Life feels like a dream and it's just surreal, sometimes I get emotional and cry. 

My only question is... Do I still have a mum, even though she has passed away? I'm just confused a bit 

I just need some advice 

Thank you.

  • Hi Sarah

    of course you still have a mum, she will always be with you in the many memories you will have, you will go through many emotions in the coming weeks, months, years. crying, getting angry and not speaking at all are all part of the grieving process and sometimes the physical pain of loss.. my advice is to keep talking about her, it will help.. 

    my heart goes out to you at this really difficult time, accept your emotions, let them out, don’t be brave and cover them up.. 

    And remember, your mums love will last forever.. take care of yourself.. 

    big hugs

  • Yes you still have a mum you can still go visit and talk to her if you want to she might not be able to talk but you know she will listen to you. I used to talk to my mum after she died my grandmother and grandad we next to her I used to talk to them as well. The good thing was that there was no cross words I haven't seen them lately but I still think of them. Best wishes.

  • Hi my   Mum passed away last year June of copd and it was so hard I to see my mum pass I stayed with her every nite beside her I never left her but I have had sighs it still feels like yesterday I lost her but I no in my heart she in a better place no more pain she was only 67 years old there is not a day we’re I don’t think about her x

  • I lost my mum 2 weeks ago to cancer (undiagnosed primary) and I’m only 23. Sometimes I cry and other days I feel numb and not sure how to feel. I still think I’m going to see her again and can’t get my head around the fact that she’s not here anymore. 

    Just know that there are others going through the same feelings as you and you’re never alone.
