My mum passed away today...

Earlier today my mum passed away. She was diagnosed with cancer ten weeks ago after feeling unwell for a few weeks. It's all happened so fast. Friday the hospice called because they noticed a change and said death was imminent, we said our goodbyes. She slipped into unconsciousness fully two nights ago. 

She was 59 years old and I wasn't ready to lose my mum, I have four young kids who doted on her (and she doted on).

I feel sick and honestly don't know how I'm going to live without her, all I want is my mum. I know I have to function and be there for the kids - but all I want is to just stop existing because it hurts so much. 

I've honestly never felt pain like this. 

please tell me it's normal and eases? Because I don't think I can live like this.

  • I lost my mum to brain cancer in 2009, i was 24 at the time and it was a brutal last few months of her life.  She was a month away from 60.   It hit me very hard, i sunk into depression for a couple of years.  It gets easier to deal with and yes still devastated at her loss but my life has moved on from the pain and it's now only happy thoughts when i think of her.
