Lost my beautiful mum

My mum was diagnosed with cancer in 2017. She had stage 4 adrenal cancer and it spread to the lungs. She had chemo but nothing worked and they gave her 6 months to live. Luckily she had a few years but we lost her on 10th of March and just had her funeral on 24th. I'm devastated. She was my best friend and my mum all in one, my go to person everyday. And I'm lost without her. She was only 47 and I'm only 28. I thought we would be 60 and 80 together and had so many plans. I can't even begin to wrap my head around the fact I won't see her ever again. It's just so painful. She was the best person I knew. When will things feel easier?

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful mum on Mother's Day. She was 44 and I'm 26 and we just had her funeral on the 23rd. I feel so lost too. I feel horrific saying this but I almost feel angry at people who attended the funeral. They could have their cry and feel sad on the day and then back to their normal lives the day after whereas my life has changed dramatically and I have the deal with this pain for the forseeable. This is the worst part I think - the aftermath. 

     

    All I can say is that I pray it gets easier - and when I see posts like yours I feel reassured that I am not alone. I desperately wish that we could relate to each other under circumstances. The grief just pops up at the most random times. I am thinking you and you are doing a really good thing by talking about it and reaching out xxxxx

  • Honestly I could have written what you wrote. I feel the same anger. I was with my mum every single day and I feel angry that everyone could just come to the funeral and be sad on that day but then are fine, and can just carry on with their lives with their normal routines etc but I feel lost and like I don't know what to do. I feel like I can't cope, but I know I have to. As unfortunate as it is, I feel glad that someone understands how I feel as at the moment I just feel alone. 
     

    grief is so strange how it comes and goes at the most random things. Thank you for replying. I'm so sorry for your loss, this Mother's Day was so tough for me and I'm so so sorry it was for you too! xxx
