miss my mummy

Less than one minute read time.

hi, 

my names paige im 16 years old and 1 and a 1/2 years ago i lost my mum to lung cancer, this is the first time im really speaking about it as i dont really express my feelings to anyone as i feel they dont understand. 

i live with my dad and brother, i love them both very much, but i hate the feeling of not being able to have a mother daughter chat and gossip. 

i still expect my mum to walk in through the door asking for me to make her a cup of tea, she was ill for 3 years previous suffering from lung cancer. 

2 years previous to her being diagnosed she recovered from cervical cancer and was put in the all clear, unfortunatley it came back. 

i just wondered if there was anyone who was in a similar situation who felt like chatting?

    Hi Paige

    It must have been devastating for you to lose your mum at such a young age.  I was 50 when I lost my mum from this awful cancer 2 years ago and it still hurts so much.  My daughter is 27 and  my son 17 and I know how it affected them losing their nan.  Other's your age who have not gone through this (thankfully) do not understand and I hope you have at least one or 2 friends who can support you t hrough this grief, other than that you can log into one of the links on this mac site for young people who have lost a parent, perhaps look at groups.  Otherwise you can just continue to write on this thread and you will get support I am sure.  It is a long journey but you will get there.  Denise. x

    Hi paige

    Am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum, and at such a young age, you must be so brave. I my self have just lost my mum a month ago, at the age of 28 years old, and find my self thinking that am too young to be without my mum, and hard to cope with losing my mum with the day to day tasks without her and not being able to talk to her.

    So how hard it must be for you, i dont know. But you sound like a really nice girl, with a good head on you. That your mum could only be so proud of you.

    My mum had vulver cancer seven years ago, and recovered from that, but then just over two months ago my mum was diagnoised with brain tumours and passed away five weeks after, i still feel like i was robbed and that i never got to say what i would have liked to have said or talked to her about things.

    i know i am older, but if you ever need to talk to anyone, am always here. x

    Paige - I am so so sorry to read this.  I lost my dad on 9th August and I feel so empty.  I feel like the world is going on but for me at the moment life has stopped.  I find it hard talking to mum so if every you want to talk you can send me a message.  Lots of love Terri x
