Hey, have just joined, I lost my mam 30th May to cancer. I feel so lost, lonely and full of guilt. Is anyone else in same situation?
So sorry Ellie. I lost my dad earlier in May. We knew it was coming but I still felt like a rug had been pulled from beneath me when it happened. I miss my dad terribly but have found some comfort in visiting the place he was born. His death has made me very nostalgic which I wasn't really before. It is very early days for you. I am sure you will get lots of support here from others. Love and hugs
Hi lexi, yes same here knew it was coming but not this soon and sudden. Its the hardest thing ever to go through and as I've still got my dad I go there but it's so empty without my mam. Take care x
Hi Lexi, yes, lost Mam to Ovarian Cancer on the 23rd April. I'm also full of guilt but don't know why when we ended up caring for her as with the Covid situation we wouldn't have been able to be with her. I think it's a natural part of grieving. We did the best we could for her. My thoughts are driving me mad thinking of all the things I never got to say and whether anything could have been done to save her? And sad for the life she's missing out on with us all and poor Dad is left behind :( She was only 66 and had plenty of life left to live. Trying hard to find some positives but I'm struggling. Sending love xx
