Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung

8 days since I lost my brave , strong amazing mum. At times I feel numb but tonight Iv been in bits. I'm struggling ! She was my best pal Not just my mum. She faught this horrible Disease  along with copd and fibrosis of the lungs for 27 long hard months. She also managed to fight off covid too god only knows how.  I thought I was prepared for her going but nothing can prepare you for it, she had a horrible last week that will haunt me for the rest of my days.  I try to keep my faith but finding it hard after watching my mum struggle so much . Why did she have to suffer he was going to take her anyway it was so unfair xx

  • Hi i really know that the loss feels impossible i lost my mum last year .they say time heals .my mum had a terrible death . But i promise you the horrible times do fade .hang on to the good times.alrhough that seems impssible . 

    I lost my son to sarcoma went his lungs and bones we found out in january .he survived four months we lost him on the 27th april .he was 25. Still my baby and i feel life will never be the same again..  but i know he would hate me to be so sad .so angry at the world . Like you its so hard .its impossible i want to scream at everyone . . I hope in time our pain eases . I was trying to comfort you and ive blurted im sorry .take care mum is right with you hold her close in your heart .. sending hugs zoe xx

  • Oh Zoe please don't apologise you have had an awful time too. I  know dying is a part of life but I just don't understand when people need to suffer or die so young . My mum was only 63 and my dad died at 38. Iv only turned 40 and my brother 37 n already orphans . I don't have a partner or kids so finding it tough on my own . Even with family and friends around . I felt so angry today , funeral was on Friday and today only 8 days after her dying everyone away back to work etc it's like people don't care. I know that's not true but it hurts. 
     

    thank you for replying to me I hope we can gain strength to move forward like they would want us too xx lots of love xx

  • I understand totally.  Life goes on and you was so busy caring for your mum. And busy now . Nothing ....i want to shout at everyone . Theres no answers to any of it . Look after yourself .be kind to yourself .  Talk anytime x
