Mum passed away

I really need someone to relate to I am 26 and my mum has passed away due to melanoma that spread to her lungs. I can't get over watching her passing away and taking her last breaths. It was just horrific. Can anyone else relate? I am really suffering. I can't talk to anyone about it I get a lump in my throat and I can't speak. I miss my mum so much we was best friends. I don't understand she looked so well I didn't even know she was going to pass away so soon she went into hospital at 6am and she passed away a few hours after. They gave her some injections and that was it she was gone I just don't understand what the hell happened please someone help.

    Hi Maddison

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my lovely dad to melanoma that spread to his liver and brain 3 years ago. He was only 61 and I was 28 at the time. Similar age to you. He was in hospital for 2 weeks before he died so I watched him getting worse and less responsive each day, though I wasn't there at the very end. It was all quite traumatic and I struggled a lot to sleep for a long time afterwards. I also didn't really have anyone to talk to at the time as no one I knew had lost a parent. It's 3 years on now and of course I still miss my dad terribly but I am doing OK. You'll get through this, stay strong and I'm here to chat if you need x
