Hi, I lost my beautiful brave mum on the 6th November she fought hard for 15months with countless rounds of chemo. We were told cancer was stable on October 16th so doctors decided to give her a break off the chemo. 2 days later she started to get poorly and went down hill really quickly and sadly passed away on the 6th of November. She was my mum but also my best friend we were together everyday and I am lost without her. Really struggling to cope constant panic attacks and anxiety how does this ever get easier?

    Hi there,

    I am so so sorry to hear about your mum. I sadly lost my amazing and truly special dad in October after a 2 week battle with cancer. It's just truly heartbreaking and my world feels like it has shattered around me. My dad was my first love, comfort blanket and biggest supporter. A real daddy's girl I am.

    I too have really suffered from anxiety and my brother too. I have days when I can't leave the house, I freak out in the middle of a shop or all I want to do is sleep because when I sleep I don't think about it. I have spoken to lots of people who advise this is normal and a stage of grief we are going through.

    Remember it is early days, there are no rule books about how we cope and to take one day at a time.

    take care x
