Losing my mum

Hi I just wanted to post as my mum passed away this morning after being in hospital for the past 18 days. She went in after getting more and more tired and pain and lumps appearing in her neck. They operated to remove part of it from her throat but we got a call last night that it had spread. We finally got to see her last night and knew that she wouldn't make it through the night. It has come out of nowhere really she has had skin cancer and breast cancer before but she was at mine at Christmas all fine and now 29 days later she has passed away. It is the most devestating news I've ever had she was only 63. Now my dad is on his own and I just want to be there for him which is hard as I live with my partner and 2 children who are 2 and 4 years old. I just wanted to post and get it off my chest really as it's the worst situation I've been in and dealt with. Matt

  • Hi Matt, 

    Im so so sorry to hear about your Mum. Nothing can ever prepare you for something like this. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you not been able to visit your mum in hospital as you would of done pre-Covid. Cancer is an awful unforgiving disease and things can happen so fast. I'm going through a terminal diagnosis with my Grandad who is only 70 and more like a father to me. 
    Sending so much love to you, your dad and your family x

  • Thankyou everyone I've felt talking about it with people has helped over the last few days and going to help my dad as well. Like I have said if anyone wants someone to talk to. Knowing people who have also been through the same situation makes it easier to understand if that makes sense.
