I miss my mom so much, I just don’t know how to be without her. I am trying to think of all the happy memories, but the reality is they are just memories and I can’t make anymore with her. She was my everything. My heart breaks, I am sad that my dad is on his own, my kids have lost the most wonderful loving Nan. She was just the best and the most beautiful soul.
I just want to shut myself away and cry. It’s so much to process. How is everyone carrying on, work is so so hard. I have pretty much no support and it’s a struggle. Why can’t people just care?
Hi, thank you. It is such a difficult time. It will
Be 1 year on 30th August. I still feel like I am in denial. I feel angry. I am currently living at my dad’s as he had a knee replacement this week. I just keep feeling my mom should be here looking after him.
My MIL has been i hospital for a month since she had a fall and her cancer has progressed and is now end of life. I just can’t believe this is happening again.
my head is just all over the place. sorry yiy are going through so much.
I am so sorry for your loss. Such a shock for you. Just take things one step at a time, go with how you feel. Talk to people about your mom when but can, all the memories you have.
I truly know how hard it is right now.. I am reliving the trauma of seeing my mom die and how she was. Definitely have some bereavement counselling when you feel ready.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
