My mam is dying, and tomorrow is probably going to be,her last day with us. Did I tell her often enough,how much I love her. How does life go on? I'm totally heartbroken
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to read about your mam and I'm sorry no-one has replied to you sooner. I hope you're getting on OK.
It is quite common in these sorts of times to worry that maybe you haven't done enough of a certain thing, or to think you should have done something differently - but you will have done everything right and no doubt she knows you love her.
There is no right or wrong way to feel in these situations, and take as much time as you need to let the emotions out. Things will I'm sure be very tough but it will eventually get easier - although I know it's easy to say at this stage.
There are many others on this forum who have been through something similar, so do make sure you use it as much as you'd like to write down any thoughts you have or just to get things off your chest.
Our thoughts are with you, and wishing you all the best,
Hello there, Lowie88. I am hoping that both you and your mom are doing okay (or better than okay). If the Lord has already taken her then I'm sure that she is doing much better than all of us. To answer your question, no matter how many times you have told your mom how much you love her, it'll never be enough (in our own minds). I lost my dad two and half years ago and despite having always told him that I love him and that he was the best father ever, I still look back and wonder if there was more I should've said or done. There's always something more you can say and it's never too late to say it despite whether or not mom is still on earth, she can still hear you and your thoughts. Sadly, life does go on (as you mentioned). Granted, it will never be the same again but you will smile, love and laugh again. As time passes, you will remember your mom's better days. I know that there is no one like a mother and there will never be another like her, as I feel about my dad but we are very blessed to have had them for as long as we did. It will not be easy but everything will be okay. One day at a time! Pray for strength and surround yourself with a strong support group whether it be your friends, family or counseling. I'm so sorry.
Sorry to hear! I am very sure your mom know how you love her and knows you are there for her. There are no words that can take pain and sorrow away. Life will go on and you will find a way to get through each day.
