Losing Mum.

Hi,

After spending a few days on here, I soon realised I’m not alone. I lost my mum just 6 weeks ago, her being only 58 and myself 26. 

I try not to be the victim but to feel so young and helpless is an understatement. She was a mother of 5 and we loved her unconditionally. Now there’s no one to keep us together. She passed very suddenly, diagnosed with lung cancer. You all share the exact words I feel at this moment and I almost feel like I am wanting to give up because who’s going to replace your best friend, your own mother! 

  • Hi Paul – that is such a beautiful thing to say. I will keep reading and posting and I am so comforted by what you said about my Mum still being around, I will feel her energy for the rest of my life and I hope that will keep me going. x

  • Hey, you know looking back I can see the small signs that my mum wasn’t looking quite herself but she hid it all so well. She only found out in April about her lung cancer but didn’t say a word until we forced it out of her and she had weeks to live. She didn’t even shed a tear or moan about her pain the entire time in Hospital. The forum has helped me already just hearing all your stories and it isn’t nice for anyone to go through a loss but it is comforting to know we can share openly and honestly. I change daily but the last 2 weeks have been my biggest struggle. No energy and feeling like giving up but I find strength in each day to keep going for my mum who I hope is looking down at me X
