Hey! Just a little rant or emotional message 

My mum was in bed for 12 whole weeks no doctor would come out and see her they would just say its scatica pain! Gave her a load of meds ... 

I put her in the bath and I could see something wasn't right took her straight to a&e to find she had broken her back ... it was bone cancer 

My mum got told she had it in the bones and lungs & we got told she had got 9 months to live... I had been trying for a baby for 3 yrs! A week later I found out I was pregnant brilliant I thought it gives my mum something to fight for something to hang on for my mum was literally my soul mate I told her everything!! 

I brought a house & moved my mum in where she would be more suitable for her with a downstairs toilet and shower we got the help from most people with me being heavy pregnant now and my mum going down hill so quick!

I gave birth on the 24th of October to a little girl 

My mum sadly passed away on 11th Nov 

It's coming up to my mums birthday this month so we are doing a pamper day to celebrate her life then we are burying her ashes the day after it's all really starting to hit me now ... now my body/brain is telling me she's not in hospital and she will never come home again I can never ring her again never see her beautiful face again 

I truly believe someone gave me my daughter because they know I wouldn't have lived with out my mum 

Sorry for long post needed to get it out

  • Hi

    I am so sorry for your loss but congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

    I know the feeling well. I lost my Dad in February this year, he was diagnosed in June 2021. I was pregnant at the time but fortunately he got to walk me down the aisle in December and spend a few months with his new Grandson, he was born in November. I wish more than anything he was here, he should be here, he had so much more to live for and our lives will never be the same.

    I’m sure your Mum will be watching over you and your family and your daughter everyday. I know I will make sure my son grows up knowing who my Dad is.

    All the best x 

  • So sorry for your loss & congratulations on your son!! I'm glad my mum got to meet my daughter but like you say they had everything to live for but she had fort for too long bless her with her birthday coming up and doing her ashes I'm really feeling it more and more each day I can't stop crying at the little things I was so close with my mum so now I'm lost because I can't talk to anyone about things because my mum was the person I spoke to :( 

  • Try and take comfort in the fact your Mum got to meet your daughter, I know we don’t see any happiness in anything at the moment but your Mum got to see her. 
    My Dad had had enough and it was heartbreaking seeing him struggle his last couple of weeks. I miss him so much and I still can’t believe he isn’t here.

    One day at a time is all you can do, it’s all I am doing. You have suffered a big loss and you need to give yourself time and allow the bad days, the grief comes out of nowhere. 

    I thought I would feel better once his ashes came home but it was hard, another reminder he isn’t here, for me personally. Are you having a plot for your Mum?

  • I'm trying but to be honest my brain is telling me she's still here just in hospital it's strange my body hasn't accepted she's gone I'm expecting it to all hit at once when next Sunday is over with & yeah she's going with her mum and dad 

    My mum is in my baby girls room at the moment I love going to talk to her 

    Have you done anything with your dad ? 

  • Give yourself time, you might find it doesn’t hit for a while or it hits, grief is unpredictable.

    I have some of his ashes at home with me, and so do my sisters but he is at home with my Mum. I can’t see anything happening with his ashes as my Mum wants him home and I understand that.

    Talk to your Mum, we all do it xx 

  • Il always talk to her il miss me and my daughter going in her room and talking to her and me showing my daughter her box :( 

    Thank you for replying today really feel like it's helped alot xx

  • You can still talk to her, she will be with you all the time.

    No problem, give yourself time and don’t be so hard on yourself. 

    xx
