My whole world feels shattered

Hi,

I just wanted to let some of this of my chest am not sure what it's going to do or if anything help but I feel like it's the right place to do it.

Only in august my amazing beautiful mum who is my whole world & best friend was diagnosed with secondary brain cancer, unfortunately treatment wasn't an option & the prognosis was never going to be easy to take at all but I felt like I wanted & needed to know.

The time we had was so special & amazing because through it all, she still tried her best, but obviously it was never ever going to be long enough or easy for me i new that for sure but the condition mum had was so cruel to watch & understand god only knows how she felt. 

I have never ever watched anyone at end of life or have I lost anyone who I love so much & is so important, special & literally my everything. My whole world has shattered. The thought of my life continuing is just pointless I have no purpose what so ever but I just want to make sure her send of is as special as she was to me. I know people loose there loved ones and I no am not the only person is the world to loose there mum, but my mum was my EVERYTHING & to think I will never ever ever ever ever see or hear her voice again splits my heart into 10 million pieces...

I don't know what I want anyone to say or do to be honest I just felt like it was a good step to do this.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss; we lost our mum to lung cancer 2 weeks ago and yes....people lose loved ones all the time but your feelings are so valid & you should communicate that actively!!!! Your grief matters, you're the only person in the world feeling that and it's personal to you ️ 
     

    Sending gentle hugs

  • Thank to you all for commenting & understanding x

    Nikki I feel like everything you have said has really touched me thank you, you yourself must be feeling this horrific pain I can imagine it I really can, I am so sorry to hear about your lovely mum too I hope she's as peaceful as can be. I can think of so many words I want to use but putting it nicely it's just cruel so so cruel :-( 

    Thank you so much for sharing with me & I know your right it does matter how I feel, I wish I could accept these feelings & understand them.

    I have been told councilling is to soon to think of, I have never been through anything like this in my life, but the way I feel if I 100% new & thought I could be with my mum in the next hour I would do anything at all absolutely one million percent.

    Am Sorry for your loss & again thank you xx

  • I'm in a similar situation in that I've never gone through anything like this before but I do know that there are no "rules" when it comes to grief.....folks can empathise but they can't really give you any meaningful advice as no one will understand your feelings like you do!

    I would say counselling, chatting to someone would be a great thing for you to do if you feel like it would help, you really do sound like you need a hug and a little help in understanding your feelings - there's no reason that it's too soon, I know I feel a comfort when speaking about mums last few days. 
     

    This is a horrible, life changing time for you....feel how you feel but please do ask for help if you feel like you need it....you have your lovely mums legacy to live xx

  • Thank you so much for your kind words and advice, It makes a lot of sense too!!

    My mums funeral is coming up soon so it's going to be a tough few days am just hoping I find the inner strength to stay strong, it doesn't help when your so called support have no interest in your feelings & don't check in, that's one thing I have worked out.. how fake family can be, act all bothered & interested about you in front of people & behind closed doors leave you to rot.... 

    Its painful loosing the one who cared & loved me more than anyone else in the world... 

    xx

     

  • Sending you as much strength as I can for the funeral - I know for me I didn't want to go! Mum hated funerals and although she had asked me to plan her funeral and I had made sure the things she had asked for were done, I just didn't want that final day to come. In the car I felt physically ill but once I was seated inside the chapel I did feel a lot calmer; I hope you find some peace in the service. 
     

    I hear you Re the fake family - that's one thing I've found hard, trying to people please to keep peace but also not wanting to be around certain family members who are only sniffing around to see if they can get anything. 
     

    There is so much support out there for you though - please reach out to them to help you!! You are the most important thing and your mum would want to make sure you have all the help you can get xx
