I to lost Mum on 24th August
trying to just take a day at a time, dreading the funeral on Tuesday and dreading my hubby going back to work.
Thinking if you all and sending hugs xxx
Hello, I think this was for me xx
How are you getting on? Is your mums service this Tuesday coming up? I’m sorry both our mums have passed away, they are still with us though, that’s what’s keeping me going!!
Hi sally cinnamon
it was for you,
im so so , good days and bad days not quite sure if it’s hit me yet
im also relieved Mam doesant have to suffer anymore as she did suffer and was literally a body in the bed by the end of it.
yes funeral is this Tuesday - dreading it
How are you doing?
Yes you are right they are still with us and they are now happy and healthy and in my case my Mum is back with Dad - this keeps me going
Hugs xxxx
I thought I was ok until a couple of hours ago and feel a huge sense of sadness and I’m scared what happened to mum will happen to me. Mums mum died at 45 with stage 4 lung cancer, history repeated itself with my mum. Apparently it’s in the genes or something. So got this on my mind too. Xx
Hi Sally cinnamon,
Just wondering if you are feeling any better now? They not to worry about history repeating itself. I completely understand the fear as I have felt it myself but all we can do is live healthily and keep a check on ourselves - head to the doctors to get things checked early etc...
I hope you are feeling a bit brighter although I know that is near impossible as we are all grieving here!

I felt OK today Kelly but barely slept last night was awake 12:30am - 4:30am. I came to bed tonight at 10pm and am still awake!! It seems to be at night time I struggle and start thinking of everything
Yes I know what you mean. I get very upset late at night and early in the morning which is a nightmare for sleep. I seem to get very tired about 10am and need a nap then! (Luckily I am not back at work yet).
