Loosing Mum at 24

I lost my mum on Thursday due to secondary breast cancer.

After 7 different types of chemo & a prognosis of up to 10 years, Triple Negative Breast Cancer won. I know she gave it her all to see me marry my husband only 2 weeks ago. I'm an only child so this was super important to me that we pulled our wedding forward just with our closest family - I've never seen her so proud.

She was my best friend in the whole world & I don't know how I'm going to cope. I moved out nearly 4 years ago but easily spoke on the phone 7/8 times a day, and seen her at least 4 times a week.
I think the hardest part will be not being able to call her with any thought that springs to mind, or calling her on my way to work. 
Since her diagnosis 2 1/2 years ago, she kept me going although she was the one suffering. She fought so hard to beat this horrible disease. 
I'm trying to keep it together to help my dad through the loss of his wife of 31 years, but I'm struggling. How do I get through this? Do I get through it or do I just learn to live? 
I want to make her proud & be the woman she always brought me up to be.
Mum taught me everything in life, she made sure I was set up to succeed & I'll be forever grateful of this.

 

I'll love her forever & make sure her memory lives on

  • Hi there ...

    So so sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment... it's in my opinion the second hardest thing we go through in life... second only to loosing a child ... 

    I lost my mum early, and felt robbed ... but like you, was lucky enough to have some amazing memories .. and she's not gone, she just lives tucked up in your heart now.... where you can take her along with you through life ... and remember , when you look in the mirror,  you are half of her, she will see through your eyes ..

    I know if I loose my fight with cancer, I'll want to look down, and see my son's happy ... then I'll know I did a good job ...  and you can do that too .. there's times to have a good cry ... but then stop, get back up, and do those things that would make her smile .. she's walking a step behind ... 

    That's what I've tried to do sinse loosing my mum ... tried to put those things in to practice,  that she taught me ...  

    We do learn to live without them, but we never stop missing them....  sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie xx 

  • Hi everyone

    I lost my mum on the 9th of July this year.

    she had a long happy life with also lots of heartache

    in her early years.

    she was my best friend. and the most amazing

    nan and person that walked this earth .

    I know as others have said I was blessed..

    I never could even comprehend how much my heart 

    could hurt.

    I go to bed sobbing and wake up sobbing .

    I cleared all the messages by accident off my phone 

    all i want is to hear her voice.

    our family is broken . the only relief is when I sleep

    but now that's invaded .

    nothing makes me happy . I just go thru the motions

    I dont want to see anyone. do anything but I know it isn't healthy.

    I miss her so so much 

    saw her everyday along with my children .now its all gone. 

    please tell me im not going crazy . but how will we ever carry on without her.

    she shielded for 15 weeks we kept her safe 

    now we feel robbed of that time. 

    I want her back ,! but I know i carnt ever .

    sorting the house is unbearable.

    its empty and void of the most loved lady in the world 

    everything seems pointless .
