I lost my mum a few hours ago.

I lost my beautiful Mum a few hours ago. She's had various cancers for years and fought bravely and strongly but she'd had enough and wanted to go. I was with her at the end. My Mum cared for my stepdad when he had cancer during this time. I'm scared to grieve incase I can't stop. My boyfriend has cancer so I can't talk to him as he's under enough strain. I came home to find him sleeping on the sofa and I know he did this to wait up for me. He had so much chemo today too and he's been such a support even visiting my Mum knowing he has the same disease. This is why I can't grieve, where do these amazing people get their strength and huge hearts from to find it within to care for others when they're suffering, when I just want to break and feel sorry for myself. How do I be like my Mum and boyfriend instead of grieving as I feel selfish because it's happened to Mum and happening to my boyfriend. They've endured the treatments and pain, not me.

  • Hi Margie,

    I'm so very sorry for you. Your mum was a warrior and you definitely are too. Simply by worrying about everyone else shows that you're a chip off the block.  It's not selfish to grieve, give yourself a break lovely.  It's important that you do so that you can move forward. Your bf sounds wonderful. He's not thinking of himself  and his awful situation today,  he's thinking of YOU!!!!   Definitely a keeper ️ 

    Take care and continue to post for support B xx
