About Debo

My Mam died on the 22nd September aged 73. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and secondary bone cancer on 21st July. I just feel so lost without her. Everything happened so quickly. She spent the last week of her life in Hospital and my 2 sisters and I sat with her. Watching her deteriorate so quickly was unbearable and I just kept telling her it was ok to leave us but now she’s gone I feel so guilty for saying those words and would give anything to have her back. The care she and our family received from Cancer Unit at the hospital was amazing. I feel so sad all of the time I don’t sleep well as I dream about her every night. Everyone keeps telling me things will get easier I just can’t see how
