I'm so sorry for your loss. I too lost my Mum recently and she was also 68. She passed only 3 days after diagnosis. She had lung cancer that was advanced and had spread to her lymph nodes. I'm still trying to get my head around how she could seem so fit and well and then suddenly be gone; it all happened so fast.

It's been just over 3 weeks since my Mum's death and I haven't yet been able to return to work. I got a sick note from my doctor for 4 weeks. Is this something you think you could do to give you time to grieve properly?

I don't have any advice to give on how to handle this sudden loss as I'm new to this grief myself. Just know that you are not alone and that everyone on this forum is kind and supportive.

Take good care
