I can’t believe I’m writing this,I lost my 67 year old mum to bowel cancer yesterday. She wasn’t just my mum, she was the most amazing person I’ve ever met. I don’t know how to even begin to process what has happened.
Dear TiredPanda87
My sincere and deepest condolences to you on the loss of your Mum. the most amazing person you have ever met.
Time is the only way to know how to begin to process, time is the only thing on your side, but let me please just say... your Mum would have and continues to be so very proud of you.
Hang in there, you have a-way-to-go, but know, if times become so much more darker than you are able to cope with alone...We at Macmillan community are here for you (((((Hugs)))))

Hi
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum. I lost my mum on Saturday morning aged 61 after a 10 week whirlwind from diagnosis to passing.
Don't put pressure on yourself to process, people are telling me to take it day by day, but I find hour by hour more manageable. I seem to be in a state of numbness - how can this have happened?
Take comfort in knowing you are not alone in this.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. I’m the same I walk around in autopilot and at the moment everything around me reminds me of her. You’re not alone I’m going through it with you.
I’m so sorry to read this. I lost my mum in February and up until the last few weeks I’ve been numb but now it’s hit like a ton of bricks and each day is a struggle.
I think daughter_31 is right- hour by hour seems to be the best way and things can change so quickly emotionally can’t they.
I’m thinking of you both, you’re not alone xx
I am so sorry to hear this about your mum! I also lost my mum a couple of weeks ago now only at the age of 57 (with the funeral tomorrow) It just doesn't feel like its real does it? and how do you even go about processing something like this, specially when the rest of the world just carries on!
It is so so difficult every day and like these replies from people on here, time is the only thing that will help. Just take each day as it comes, lean on friends and family members. Take those days to miss your mum but also take those days to be strong and live life how she would want you to. All the best to you xx
