Hello Gtp,
Yes, I agree its very difficult to get on with life. I hate cancer too, I lost my Mum and it feels so unfair.
I've managed to go forward in life as I would have before but of course everything has changed. Sometimes I'll be doing a normal everyday task and then I remember and its so painful. I genuinely think it takes years and years for the new reality to sink in. I'm only ten months in so relatively new to the club. (worst club ever)
My Mum was my shining light and best friend. I've realised no one cares about the things you do as much as your Mum, you can tell them anything about your life and they are excited or happy for you. Life without them leaves such a void that i'm not sure can be filled.
It does get a little easier I am learning, but grief is like waves and sometimes they crash over you and take you back under.
Like you I do think this forum is great, its helped me tremendously to hear others stories, you learn everyone has to go through awful things and its possible to keep going.
Here if you need to chat!
