Hi everyone this is the first time posting. I lost my mum to vaginal cancer just a 10 days ago. It was the hardest thing I had to do. Watching your parent die isn't nice. My mum was having chemotherapy and got a infection that turned into sepsis she went down hill pretty quick. We as a family decided to remove all antibiotics and fluids because we knew she was going to die. It was horrible to watch because know one let's a animal suffer like that but they let humans to suffer this is inhumane. I feel like a major part of me was ripped out of me. No one really supportive and feel like I am doing this alone.
Hello Kez43, I’m new to this forum and I’m just reading through some of the posts. I’m so sorry to read about your situation. I hope that the sadness you feel eventually becomes more bearable for you. Grief is a lonely place at times but you have taken a step forward by seeking support. I hope that the knowledge someone(me)who you have never met is thinking about you just now and sending you a big hug is a start to the support. Take care, look after yourself.
Hi, I’m sorry for all your loss. I lost my Mum in January to ovarian cancer and it’s just indescribable. I have just joined as feel I need to talk about the experience. Watching someone you love die is heart wrenching. It does get easier, but it’s always there.
I totally understand.I lost my dad about 6 weeks ago. Watching the deterioration and seeing him when he passed was horrible. They are images I do not want in my head. I had never witnessed anyone die before. I am struggling greatly. I am trying to seek help to talk through my feelings xx sending love ️
Its horrendous isn't it..no one warns you what might happen it seems...sending love to everyone in this situation...and everyone grieving the loss of a loved...one day at a time eh xx
Hi Kez43, I'm so sorry that you've lost your mum it's a pain that's indescribable. Watching your parent pass is also heartbreaking and and horrid but you wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.
Grieving can be very lonely even if you are surrounded by people.
Please be kind to yourself and share your feelings as much as you can. This is a kind and supportive group, strangers helped me when I lost my mum and it was invaluable.
Take care, sending you lots of love xxx
