Missing mum

My mum passed away 2.5 weeks ago just been to see her to say bye for now before the funeral tomorrow 

i have been so emotional since the day she took her last breath but seeing her today at peace now and looking beautiful even in death helped me a little...

she smelt lovely and her skin still lovely 

she would of been 70 next month so she has been taking to early 

5 months of trying to fight lung cancer since diagnosis 

she was so brave and she is my hero for not moaning once just worried about dad and us lot 

i will say goodbye tomorrow so cancer has taken my mum early from us all but it can not take my love and memories away 

 

  • Hi Rolozuese

    I'm so glad to hear that seeing your Mum earlier this week helped. I hope that the funeral went smoothly yesterday. 

    Keep hold of those lovely memories that you mention and take each day as it comes. If you need to chat to others who have lost a loved one then you're always welcome to post here on the forum. 

    Sending best wishes,

  • Hello Rolozuese, I lost my mum 11th September from Ovarian C.  It was quite a sudden death that we are reeling.  I’m so sorry for your loss. Are you OK?

    I am waiting for mums funeral on 3rd Oct and am debating whether to go to the chapel of rest.  I can’t bare the thought of missing one last opportunity to be with her.   Even if she is dead, she is actually there and still exists. How can I pass on that last opportunity.  I hate the thought of her being cremated and not being here anymore. If she was buried I would have somewhere to go and know that she just slept beneath the soil... my thoughts are so irrational right now.  The longing is unbearable sometimes..

    much love
