Lost my mother this year in the month of February. She was diagnosee with AML on 11th Feb and she passed away on 16th. We didn't get the time to treat her. She had COPD may be that's why the oral chemo medicine caused breathing problems. She was shifted to Ventilation on 14th Feb. The doctors said that she wasn't responding to the treatment. I still can't believe the fact that she is gone. I feel very angry and sad at whatever happened. Trying hard to live a life sans her but it sucks. Help me to deal with this.

Hi I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. It must be very hard to have lost her so quickly. Everyone copes with grief differently and there is no time limit on the grieving process. I have found this information sheet HERE for you about support for grief, which you may find helpful.

If you need to talk to someone please call the Macmillan helpline. They are available from 8am til 8pm 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00

Take care

Hello Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. I feel I can relate to what you’ve said. I lost my mum in February to cancer, only diagnosed in December. Mum was given palliative radiotherapy and I think this overwhelmed her, She deteriorated so quickly. I’m still trying to make sense of what happened, and still can’t really believe it is real. The pain feels intolerable at times, and I keep thinking this can’t have happened to my mum. I hope you have some support, someone you can talk to. I’m sorry I can’t help more, I’m still trying to find my own way through this, but I do believe in reaching out for help and support. x
