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?
