Mum is gone forever

After 39 days from diagnosis to.... my mum is gone. forever. 

My beautiful mum was only 57 years old and has been completely robbed of so many years of her life. I'm just so very sad, sad that she isn't here, sad that she has missed out on the opportunity to be a fantastic grandma, sad now that my poor dad is alone and is not coping at all. Angry that at 27 myself, my mum has been taken away and will never see me get married or have children. That I'll never get to hug her and tell her just how amazing she is one more time. 

How is everything just meant to carry on? How are you expected to eventually return to normal?

There seems to be so long left of my life (hopefully..but after this shock who knows?) without my mum that is just doesnt seem bearable to go on without her here helping, guiding, supporting and most importantly loving like only a mother can.

God I miss her, my heart aches for all those who have been here. I'm sure if we could all just have one more hug one more kiss...

I guess it's just simple. I love my mum and I just cannot believe we are here, in a lonely world without her.

 

  • I feel the same, it's been 20 days and I think I'm in shock but the memories keep hitting me over and over again. I feel sick all the time, I can't breathe properly and I keep reliving her last moments. xxx

  • yes that’s how I feel. Just such a heavy feeling in my heart. I feel sick and I wake up with terrible anxiety anc images of my mum in that bed. Mum couldn’t speak because she had so much fluid on her lungs so had oxygen mask on. And didn’t have strength to speak.  But her last words to me were “I love you” I said I know you do my darling and I love you.  Then she fell into unconsciousness. I held her to the end and stroked her face. We listened to her favourite music.  But I still can’t get her fear in her eyes out of my head. She said she was so frightened. So we just held her. I had no idea what to say. I just told her we were all here for her and she didn’t need to be scared. I went for for a walk yesterday and a robin came and sat next to me  

     

     

  • It’s so difficult cause our mums wouldn’t want us to be feeling like this, they’d want us to remember the good, happy times. Not the evil C. I’ve found that I can’t seem to remember anything anymore apart from this horrific year. My boyfriends dad died in April and a week after we found this out about my mum and then she died. It’s challenging to say the least. 

  • I’m so sorry for your loss I lost my mum in June 17th this year I miss her so much at times I go to ring her to tell her something I seem to miss her more as each day goes on your mum wouldn’t want you to be sad or feel lonely she would want you to be strong for you dad even though it’s hard just take little steps each day take care x

  • I'm sorry to hear about your mum.

    I totally agree about going to call theb realising that I cant..it hits you all over again. thank you and please take care of yourself also :) x

  • I'm so sorry. I know she must have been scared, just as I know my Mum was too, but having you with her at the end must have been so comforting. The anxiety eats you up because you torment yourself thinking about how they must have been feeling.. How are you doing today? x
