Mums just died

My mum has just died from COVID  .she had terminal cancer .she was told five years ago she has two years .Cancer didn't kill her .The virus did we kept her so safe no mixing going out as soon as she went into hospital she caught it . I am so angry and hurt . My son has autism he doesn't really understand it my youngest is okay as long as he sees me being okay . My dad and younger sister are not coping at all . Even worst because of this virus can't even say good bye to my mum .And it New Year's Eve !  People celebrating outside with fireworks .

  • Hi,

    Im so sorry for your loss. My Dad also died of Covid on 2nd December after being in hospital with MND. He was looking forward to coming home at least for a bit as his prognosis was less than 6 months. I feel he's been robbed. This wretched disease. I have also just had surgery for breast cancer, hopefully early stage, so I'm thinking how much more is there to be thrown at us. 
    Try and take time for yourself and huddle yourself with your family. I have found great support with mine and lots of talking and tea has helped.

    Its all truly awful and I hope next year is better for u.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss no words I say can take away your pain  the loss of a loved one is  is the worst pain  I have ever had  I lost my wife to breast cancer  22/12/2020 she left behind  me and our young boys  so I kind of understand how you are feeling  as for the fireworks I hate it to x

  • Hi moonlight. I'm so sorry about your mum. I understand your pain as my mum passed in the exact same circumstances on December 7th. We had been so careful all year and then when she had to go to hospital she caught it there. I'm so sad and angry and it all seems so very unfair for my lovely mum to be taken this way. I'm sorry you are experiencing this too, it really is heartbreaking. We didn't get to say goodbye either. 

    I did find it helpful visiting mum in the chapel of rest at the funeral home prior to her funeral, it helped feel like I could say goodbye. I have a little girl and she and her cousins wrote letters and drew pictures to go in with her which I think helped them, and we also put in pictures and things she liked. We did need to specifically ask to be able to visit and the casket needed to be closed, but just to make you aware it is possible, if it's something you would find helpful. 

    I also understand how you feel about the fireworks, it's such a sad time to lose your mum 

    Sorry also to the others here who have lost loved ones in such terrible circumstances and been robbed of more time together

    Sending love your way. Don't think too far ahead, just take it day by day for now

  • You're so lovely Thankyou ️ ️

  • Talking dose help and it helps  talking to people who are going through the same  horrible  thing s cancer and COVID can F off  my wife loved her life and never to leave us behind  x

  • Hello,I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum on December 19th, we buried her yesterday. My eldest son has autism and is struggling with the loss and the change as he is used to me being busy caring for his granny.

    i feel lost, I miss her so much and people wishing me merry Christmas and now happy new year quite honestly I would like to slap them, I can't imagine a happy anything right now!

    however I know from losing my Dad a few years ago it does get easier and I just have to ride the emotional rollercoaster until slowly I can start to see the fun in things again. I am lucky to have a wonderful husband who is so supportive and also a great best friend who always has time for me.

    i feel your heart break and I wish you and your family comfort and peace xx
