Lostwithoutmum

Hi this is the first time I've been on here and spoken about my beautiful mum, I lost my mum on boxing day 2020 to lung cancer ,I looked after her at home without much help which I found really hard but glad I did it ,she suffered so much in her last week or so and didn't have a peaceful death ,im just not coping with life now that she's gone ,I cant sleep everytime I close my eyes I see images of her struggling to breathe, and the picture of her being so thin she was all bones ,I often wonder if I could have done more for her maybe rang the district nurse sooner to help in her final days ,I miss her so much I don't know how long I can go on feeling this way  ,everyone seems fed up of me being miserable and thinks I should be ok now but I'm truly not ,I'm so unhappy, to top it off my sister in law best friend died 11 weeks after mum so I had to deal with that aswell ,I just wish I could close my eyes an just sleep ,will I ever be normal again

    Hi Feelinglostwith,

    A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm so sorry to hear why you've joined us. I offer my sincere condolences on he loss of your mum and your sister-in-law. Losing her so soon afterwards must have come as a double whammy.

    Losing our mums is a huge thing in our lives and it can be difficult to come to terms with. You did well to nurse her at home until the end, but it can be hard to block out those final pictures when she was suffering, from our minds. Have you thought about getting counselling to help you to cope with this? Cruse Bereavement Care can be very helpful when you feel like this. I am sure that your mum would hate to tsee you feeling like this, so please consider getting some help.

    Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
