i. really don’t think i can write too much as i feel an unbearable pain and loss that i just can’t describe.
i lost my mum 3 days ago to Glioblastoma (brain cancer) 4 months after diagnosis.
i was with her every step of the way and refused to leave her side during the last week. I am hurting so much, i don’t want to talk to anyone, I just want to give my mum a cuddle.
Sorry I know this message probably makes no sense but i just thought i would write a few words.
God bless you all and you are all truly in my thoughts. xx
Hi there , what you are saying makes complete sense…. I lost my lovely dad to cancer 5 years ago and it broke my heart. He was such a wonderful, funny clever man…. This year .. 5 weeks ago I lost my lovely mum , aged 80 … only 5 months after diagnosis with lung cancer . I feel like I’ve got part of me missing …. She was always at my side snd I can’t believe she has really gone … I feel like I might wake up snd it’s all just been a nightmare.
I don’t think it matters what age you lose your parents , it’s always going to be difficult. I think if you have a belief in something then it helps. Im not religious but I’ve a little bit of hope in something spiritual to try and find a way to try and cope with my new life … it’s the worst thing that’s ever happen in my 52 years …. I never realised middle age could be such a struggle !!!! Good luck for what’s ahead of you . Sending love xx
Thank you to Granny59 and go 21.
it’s been just over a month now and it’s been hell. sometimes i think i’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I find the pain so intense. I have asked for some counselling from a service we have at work.
i dream of mum all the time but i keep seeing her poorly and at Christie’s. Christmas is coming up which i know is going to be hard. I miss her so much!
i’m sorry i sound so depressing. i do hope that you are okay and thank you for your responses, it’s really kind. I know that we are or have gone through the same thing.
Sending love to you xxx
