Lost my best friend

Hello all

This post is in memory of my late mom Betty. Who sadly passed away 1 year next month, I've been finding the loss very difficult it's being a very hard year especially getting through Xmas and the new year without her there with me. She was diagnosed in November 2011 with lung cancer and brain metastasises (tumours) I was there when she was told and I was there at the end. It was a hard journey and to see sombody u love so much go through that pain and you couldn't do anything hurts. Mom frought it tho there was times when we thought she was giving up years ago but she frought back every time ,she was a strong woman and brave also. She never really complained all the way through (didn't think she wanted me to see) I was so close to my mom she was my best friend and it so hard to live with the fact she gone. To lose sombody this way is very difficult emotionally and physically mentally draining ,I did care for my mom all the way and it did get more so towards the end. But at least she knows I was there with her every step of the way . Love you and miss you mom. If sombody has or is going through something similar ,please reply if you feel you want to ,it nice to speak with someone who knows how it feels 

  • Hi there and welcome, most people on here have either lost somebody, has cancer themselves or is caring for somebody with cancer. I myself lost my dad to cancer 3 months ago. It certainly is a very hard journey from beginning to end. Until you've been there yourself you can't really imagine the pain. I never realised how hard it would be to loose a parent. I've lost friends and grandparents but this never prepared me for losing my dad, it was so much harder. I think the fact he was only 64 made it harder to deal with as I felt he had so much more of his life to live.  Take care
