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?

  • Hello [@StaceyH26]‍  and [@Emily112]‍ 

    I just wanted to say to you both I'm so, so sorry for your loss. You're both so young, and I cannot even start to understand how difficult this must be for you.

    I have also very recently lost my mum, I'm 33, but my brother is 27. She was diagnosed, but passed away a month later (which is now a month ago). 

    I keep reading with time that the heavy heart feeling gets slightly easier, and the good memories become to the forefront of your mind, and you can smile again. I hope this is true. At the moment it feels very painful to think about good times. 

    I wish you both a lot of love and strength on your journey take care of yourselves, it would be what your mum's would want for both of you XXX 

  • 33 is still super young. Nobody expects their parents to get sick or die and it's just unfair. Thank you so much for you kind words. All we can hope is for it to get easier. Sending lots of love straight back xxx
