1 week mum passed away

My mum passed away last Sunday and I am lost I have zero interest in anything my mum was diagnosed with cancer 9th May and passed 17th she was fine showing no symptoms then boom hit with a sledge hammer your mum has days to live 

I still feel like I have had no time to process the diagnosis let alone she has passed away 

 

I get up in the morning have my coffee then once I have done that I try to get through the day for the sake of my little boy but all I can think is I want my mum my mum should be here I feel cheated for her and us as a family 

 

funeral is Wednesday goodness knows how I will get through that day 

 

any advice as to when this excruciating pain will lessen ? Or when I will have a day when the overwhelming sadness will not feel so bad 

 

thank you to those who will reply and it's ok if I dont get a reply I understand everyone in this community is going through a battle

  • I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm in a similar situation to you, my dad passed on 18 May, not even 3 weeks after his diagnosis. I lack any motivation. I'm stricken with an empty sadness. 
     

    Yes, it really feels unfair, he was only 61. Stay strong, I too hope this pain will ease.
