Missing My Sweet Mum

My mother passed away from breast cancer in 2017. I was young at the time (16) and only realised the severity of her condition close to the time of her passing, this made her death feel so sudden. I have vague memories of the day she passed, arriving at the hospice and being met by the nurses who looked after her, being sat in a waiting room whilst all of my family members said their goodbyes to my mother and then crying my heart out on the journey home. The world lost all of its colour that day. Now four years on, I still feel a huge hole in my heart and I wish for nothing more than a big hug from my mummy! Some days are happy and some days are very sad but that's what happens when you have a fabulous mother who loved you so beautifully - it's a soulmate connection that never dies. I guess im posting on this forum to express what my heart feels - SO much love for my angel of a mother - and also to comfort others who, too, experienced losing their mother at a young age. It is a journey, and a difficult one at that, but I know our mothers will be so proud of us and right by our sides as we travel through life. Grief is one difficult thing to accept, live with, express and heal, but we are strong and only beautiful things await.  May we remember our loved ones with great joy and find their magic everywhere. 

Hugs ️

  • Hello faithfulfairy,

    I'm sorry for your loss, your mum sounds like a special person. As you say, this is a difficult journey you're on and grief has no end date, but I hope posting on the forum has helped in some way. There is support out there and if you ever need to speak to someone the Cruse bereavement helpline is 0808 808 1667.

    Wishing you all the best,
