As some of you know I lost my darling mum to lung cancer 9 days ago on 31/1/09. We have now made the funeral arrangements, which is on Friday 13th. I am not looking forward to this day but know it has to happen.
I took dad to see mum at the chapel of rest today, which was very emotioal, but I do feel has helped a bit. I miss my mum so very much, I still cry every day. I know it's still early days but at the moment I just feel I will never get over the loss of my lovely, lovely mum.
Hope this blog finds you all keepin your chin up xx

I feel so much for you Gaynor. I lost my mum on 23/01/09. I feel so lost without her. My partner doesn't really understand what I'm going through - but I have some lovely photos of her and I keep going by thinking of all the nice things we did together and all the things we laughed at.
My mum was my best friend and I miss her dreadfully. I try to be strong for my dad and grieve in private, but it's hard.
I also keep thinking that at least she's free of being ill now and she isn't in any more pain - I know she'd want me to think that way because she told me 3 or 4 times before she passed away that she'd had enough, so I know she's free, but it still hurts.
Thankyou for your lovely message. Like you, I am finding it hard. I miss mum so much, yet try to be strong for dad.
It's my mums birthday tomorrow, she would have beem 77...not old enough to die!! We are going to celebrate her birthday over a meal out, after all why should we just let her special day go by - just because she's not here? I have also bought a card and flowers for her - don't know if this is right or wrong but I just can't let the day go by without making a fuss of my lovely mum.
Thank you for your lovely message :-) I've never joined any forums like this, but I'm glad that I have :-)
My mum was 77 when she passed away and would have been 78 on 24 March. It's also hard at this time of year as Mother's Day is nearly here and she's not here for me to bring presents for both Mother's Day and Birthday, but I will also take flowers to her, it's just my way to say how much I miss and love her.
Thanks again for your lovely message - it means so much to know that there is other people out there who know exactly how I feel :-)
