Finding it so hard

Hi 

im not really sure what I want to say but feel this is probably the only place anyone will really understand.

i lost my beautiful Mum just over 3 weeks ago to lung cancer. We only had the diagnosis 3 weeks before that.

I cared for my Mum through those short 3 weeks and was with her right up until the very end. I obviously was devastated to lose her but kept myself busy with arranging the funeral and sorting everything my Dad needing doing.

We laid her to rest 2 days ago & now I think maybe the grief has hit me properly, I feel like my heart it being ripped out & I have absolutely no interest in anything. All I want to do is go sit by her graveside which I know can't be healthy.

Like I said I'm not really sure why I felt posting here was going to help but I just felt I needed to get it out somewhere that people would understand x

  • Hi Sam, 

    I am so sorry to hear about your Mam. I completely understand how you feel. My mam was diagnosed with renal cancer that had gone to her lungs, bones, liver and thyroid. I lost my Mam 6 weeks ago and her diagnosis to losing her was 7 months and I cared for her. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to watch, you're so busy looking after them and then to see them pass is something I will never ever get over. I can't imagine how it must feel to have only had a short time like you did to get your head around that. I have only just gone back to work and it's been so hard, I'm so angry that the world is going back to normal without my beautiful mam, most days I just want to lie in bed and cry and don't want to do anything, I still do most nights. I got a journal from Amazon called Angel catcher and I have been writing in that and have found that does help. It's really emotional writing in it but it has some sections to write memories and things in which helps me remember her before she was poorly! I would definitely recommend it, it might not be for everyone but it can't hurt. There is nothing I can really say to make you feel better, but I have been doing things with my dad like going on walks to the coast and just generally keeping busy and have found that comforting. I keep looking for little signs too. Thinking of you, it's going to be so hard but we will get through it ️ X
