She passed so quickly

I list my mum on February 26th 2021.

She was admitted to hospital on February  12th and diagnosed on Monday 15th. She had primary breast cancer which had spread to 2 places in her spine, her liver and her lungs. On Wednesday Feb 17th she had radiotherapy on her spine.

A few days before she was admitted she showed me a lump under her right breast saying she hadn't been completely truthful with me and the lump had been there about 6 months.

Her biggest fear in life was cancer.

I cant accept shes gone, although when she was admitted she was in excruciating pain she was her normal self.

Her funeral is this coming Tuesday March 23rd, no flowers but donations to cancer research. 

I cant believe in 2 weeks I'd lost her , how did she go so quickly. It's so unfair.

  • Hi Raine1904, 

    I'd like to send you my deepest sympathies for the loss of your mother. 

    I lost my mum myself four months ago to cancer. I completely understand how you are feeling right now. 

    My mum had suffered with cancer for years, but her decline was at a break-neck speed. I too struggle with how quick Mum had gone from being her usual self, to planning her funeral within a matter of weeks. 

    I wish I could tell you things get easier, I'm yet to feel that myself but the fog you will be feeling right now does lift slightly. And you always have this forum for support and understanding from people who really do sympathise with what you are going through. 

    Sending you all my love and kind thoughts for Tuesday.

    Thank you for your kind words, yesterday went well , though it was a bit daunting knowing that others were watching as it was live on line as well. We finished our day by going to Mc Donalds drive through , my mum loved a Mc Donalds. 

    Now i suppose its trying to get back to some kind of normal without Mum.
