I lost my beautiful mum on the 18th Feb after a hard fought battle with cancer that was only diagnosed in December.
How life will continue without her I’m not sure as she was a rock within our family unit and one who supported me greatly with my wife who has young onset Parkinson’s.
Cancer really does rip the heart out of everything, right now my emotions are all over the place but it’s the overwhelming feeling of numbness that I struggle with!!
Hi Donjamo,
I am so sorry about your mum, and especially after such a short time after diagnosis. Cancer is incredibly unfair and can take so much away, so quickly.
I lost my mum the same week you lost yours, and I too am struggling with numbness and that sense of unreality. I don't know about you but I just want to world to stop until I've processed it and it's hard seeing life go on as normal for everyone else!
I know I am just a stranger on the internet but know that you are very much not alone in how you feel. Once again I am very sorry for your loss, and I will be thinking of you in the days and weeks ahead.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
