Loss of an Adult Child - anyone here who can help my mum?

Hey All

I'm desperately looking for some help, guidance, advice or just some kind words. My mum is in hell, I am terminally ill, I'm ok, but always on the verge of bad news. I've had three life saving surgeries and pretty much on the last ditch attempt to control my disease with chemo.

Is there anywhere I can put mum in touch with similar parents, or support networks that could assist in this awful time. She quite rightly is angry, frustrated and would do anything to get rid of this state we are in, unfortunately, we all know it's going one way (not yet of course). I just would love if someone could listen to her, she has no family, other than me. Some friends, but I don't think they want the honest conversations around the death of a child; however old that child might be.

thanks for listening.

take care and stay safe

    Hi there,

    Im sorry to hear about your mum and you going through with the loss of your loved one. I'm having similar pain what I'm going through at the moment, losing your child no matter what age is the worst thing a mother can go through. I have explained at this forum how my loving and caring, a down to earth son passed away two months ago, it was so sudden. I'm struggling day to day, the pain is unbearable. 
    Im having my counselling, GP prescribed medication, friends are helping me, my daughter constantly in touch, however, my mind is alway with my son Sunny. A big house on my own, looking at his empty room, it's heart breaking. Every little thing reminds me my Sunny. I'm struggling day to day.

    Tell  mum she is not alone, I use to think same why me? Why my son? But there's no answe  She can join this chat line and together we can share our pain, as they says only a bereaved mother knows the pain of other bereaved mother.

    Take care,

    big hug
