Lost my mum my EVERYTHING

My mum passed away Saturday and I cant cope with the devastation and grief. She as fought Lymphoma for 5 years but in June was Diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer and fought all she could she was so brave but deterioated this last week, stopped eating,needed a comode,stairlift and in horrendous pain and passed 2 days ago. She truly was my bestest ever friend, I spoke to her at least 4 times a day. She held my hand through 7 years of Infertility and 7 IVFs believing she would never be a nanny as i am an only child. Then a miracle happened i became pregnant on the 7th IVF and I gave birth to twin boys, OMG she idolised them and them her. She got only 2 years with them before being ripped away by this damb cancer.  I was with her when she died lay behind her kissing her. She was on the syringe driver and hadnt opened her eyes all day, then she suddenly openened her eyes wide open, pulled herself up so she could see behind to me,looked straight at me then lay back down and passed. What was this?

I cant eat, cant even function on my 2 babies. The pain is unbearable. I just need a sign from her that she is still with me. I dont think I am strong enough to get through this. I have started taking strong painkillers to numb the pain/reality and some of mums sleeping tablets so can see this slippery slope but cant stop. 

  • Hi Lisa, I will be thinking of you on Monday x I'm dreading mum's funeral on Monday it seems to have taken so long to do,I'm hoping I get to go to the Chapel of rest Saturday or Sunday, they are calling me tomorrow to let me know as they said when they picked mum up from hospital she wasn't in a great way :( but they said they hope to get her dressed and done up to put in the coffin so she is presentable enough to view, I'd be devastated if I wasn't able to see her as I have pictures of my boy and other bits I'd like to put with her. How are you feeling? I just feel wierd every now and then I think what's happening and it hits me and il cry then Il do something to distract me. Xxx

    Life is so cruel she is going to miss out on seeing "HER BOYS" grow up. 

    I adored her,she was my mentor,hero and best friend and I dont think I will ever be the same person ever again!
