2 days since I lost my mommy

Its been two days since she passed. My mommy was everything to me, she was beautiful kind and caring up to her very last moments. I'm having issues sleeping at the moment and eating, but I know it's all part of the process. She is here with me I just know it. Her final hours were horrifying for me to see her the way she was, wasn't truly my mommy. I am now starting to remember all the good times, finding odd things around the house. Like her shopping list waitrose - carmel source. Brings a smile to my face. She loved putting that in her vanilla Amshakes. 

She was diagnosed with terminal small celled lung cancer 24th August 2018, it was a tough year she faught so bravely though, so much strength and diginity. My true warrior mom! It's an odd feeling I have no guilt in laughing and crying of her. I did some ironing yesterday had no idea how to actually do it, she did everything till her last day. Dad and I had a chuckle of not being able to use the dishwasher. I know she would be laughing away at that. The thought of us two working together she'd be so happy we finally aren't butting heads. I don't feel so much guilt just the day before i wasn't there mjch and i dont know if I said I loved her. But she held on till my brother and I got there to say our goodbyes and I love you's. Then she drifted off into a deep sleep. 

All just hurting, my friend gave me good advice she lost her mom too. You can't do anything for them now physically now, other than live your life and make them proud. I know she was so proud of her twins (me and my brother) what we do and will do. I feel some guilt that we can do our own things and not tide down to having to stay at home. It's wierd. Like have to do things and go out but the passed here been so use to 'mommy sitting'. 

Anyway, she passed away 1 year and four days from the official diagnose. She faught like a true viking warrior queen. She's going off to enjoy Valhalla final warriors resting place. 

  • Hi Thamer, I absolutely love what you said about your Mum going off to Valhalla. My Mum went off to "Xanadu" 10 days ago and I feel the exact same as you. It's early days for both of us but if you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to message me. I think we are the same age if you were also born in 1995.

  • Think your mums would be so proud of you and pgh95  ... looks like you both take after those amazing mum's of yours .. and every time you "make them proud" they will be looking down saying ... that's my girl ... because that's what I did for my mum when she passed ... carry on what she taught me .. yes I sometimes have a few tears ... but I know it's when she hears us laugh she's happiest... 

    Look in the mirror.... she's looking right back at ya ... you are half of her ... sending you a vertual hug...  Chrissie

  • Thank you for you beautiful response. I work with horses day after she passed, I went down to the yard just felt her with me cuddling them. Going through the confusing part of. Should I be feeling happy and laughing? But I should she would want that, like you said. 

  • Hi ...

    You know I was the baby of our family and closest to mum ... I'd never been to a funeral befor ... I was so scared that I'd scream , rant , and never stop .. but all that day, it was like she was saying ... I'm not there , I'm right here beside you ...  so it was like she carried me through ... like when I was diagnosed with cancer ... feathers appeared everywhere esp in my bra... and the day I got the news that the lump was low risk, and not in my lymph nodes....they stopped ..

    So hold on to that feeling ... she will help you through ...  Chrissie
