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

  • Oh that is so sad, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's such a massive shock for you and I understand that. You barely have time to get your head round the diagnosis before the cancer takes over and dictates what happens next.

    I feel like I've lost a season somehow while Mum was ill and you're right, things still feel a bit raw for me, like time stopped in June but the world carried on.

    I hope you have family and friends you can lean on.

    You can always vent on here I'm sure, there are lots of resources on here too as well as being able to talk to folks who've experienced similar loss. 


    Take care
