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 feel so sad for you, I know so well the pain you are feeling. Your Mum was so young, to lose her at 59 is dreadful.  Like you I lost my dear Mum very quickly. We list her on 18 Aug 2019, it was her 81st birthday. She passed only three weeks and three days after being diagnosed with metastatic bowel cancer, it had spread to her lungs and liver. Two years on the pain is so real, some days I break down and cry and could scream with the raw pain I feel. She was my best friend and I miss her beyond words. For you to lose your Mum so young must be awful, I do hope you can find some comfort to ease your pain. Much love x
