Lost mum in June, only diagnosed 9 weeks before she passed

Hi there, I'm new on here and thought this would be a good place to find support from people going through similar feelings as me. I lost my Mum in June to lung cancer, she was only diagnosed 9 weeks before she passed away so it was a big shock for her and for all of our family. I was fortunate enough to look after her at home until the day she passed away. Even though I got to spend this precious time with her, I still miss her so much. It's getting a little easier, but there are days where it's so painful. She was my best buddy and confidante - my go to for advice. Is there anyone else who has experienced losing a parent? It's much different to losing a grandparent x

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mam at the end of August, so I can understand the feelings that you have.

    She was such a big presence in my life and that's gone, leaving me a bit numb. That's the only way I can describe it to people when they ask me, I feel numb and a little bit lost.

    My Nan passed away in 2019 and I didn't handle her death very well at all. They were both a critical part of my life  but you're right, it is a different feeling when you lose a parent.
