Hi - Lost both Mum & Papa this year

Hi I'm Laura I'm 29 I just lost my papa in March to multiple myelomahe was 71  . And I just was starting to accept that and then my mum got sick and fluid began to build up in her stomach so tests after test mum got told she had ovarian cancer which then was later diagnosed to cervical cancer she went into hospital to get her fluid drained and three weeks later she was gone on the 28th of November she passed away wee just lay her to rest today and I feel weird cause I've not cried I keep having this horrible feeling about mum being gone but I'm finding it hard to cry I was still crying for my papa I sat with mum until she passed away she was only 51 I keep thinking why my mum after she just helped my gran with papa and then that happened papa was peaceful but mum wasn't nice she had blisters on her moth and it went all black and the black liquid coming out her stomach I hated it and she had basically faded away to nothing I don't feel like she's gone I feel like she's still in hospital that she's still going to come home but I know she's dead it's weird 

  • Hi Laura. 
     

    Im so sorry for both your losses, i can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling and so young too. 
     

    I'm not sure whether you've seen my post or not but I lost my mum aged 56, to lung cancer 2 weeks ago, her funeral was last Friday. Apart from the funeral I have not cried. I've felt numb. I think it's your brain protecting you personally as it's too hard to deal with. 
     

    Do you have anyone to talk to? A sibling or family? I have 2 sister who are younger than me (I'm 36) they are dealing with it in completely different ways. One has closed off completely and the other went back to work yesterday. Me? I feel lost and living day by day.
