Just lost my Mum and I’m completely numb

Last night, my wonderful Mum, 53, passed away. She was slowly getting weaker from GBM 4 and we predicted she would go to a hospice in the next few weeks, but she suddenly died last night because of the blood clots in her lungs cause by the tumour/chemo. I'm in absolute shock, I didn't expect it to be this soon. I FaceTimed her literally an hour before she died as I was out, and that was the last time we spoke. I can't quite explain how I feel but I can best describe it as absolutely nothing. I feel normal but empty. I don't want to feel like this and I feel terrible that I'm not on the floor screaming. She was my best friend and I just want her back. 

  • Hello, 

    I'm really so sorry for your loss, I sadly lost my mum at 52 the 1st nov 2019 so am very new to grief too. Right now just take the time to do whatever you need to do, cry scream, shout! It's the worst thing to ever have to go through this but trust me when I say this although you don't know me if I can make it through then I have faith that you will also.

  • I lost my mum the week before yours. 22nd October She passed away from well they say pancreatic cancer but feel there was another reason due to neglect. She was 70 fit and healthy 2 months before going to the gym tai chi and ate healthy.
     

    I know what you both are saying about feeling empty. I literally couldn't think at all, it was almost like my brain wasn't inside my head. We had the funeral 3 weeks later, I found evenings very hard when I got tired I would get upset, it got better but I felt guilty then started again around Xmas period again.
