It's been two weeks since Mum passed away from Pancreatic Cancer / Bile Duct sepsis, She also suffered from a stroke the day before she passed!

I am so grateful that we managed to have her home and spend her final 3 weeks with her.

HOWEVER! I am really struggling to accept the fact she is gone, Never to have my lunchtime conversations with her, ask her advise, laugh, joke, sing, cry.

I feel so numb to the point I can't even cry anymore (is that wrong Pensive)  I know it 's been only 2 Weeks but I'm confused with the fact I don't really have any emotions, I just keep expecting her to walk through the door and open her arms to me!!!! Sleepy

I'm also worried about extending my sick leave with work as I feel I may loose my job.

My work to be fair have been brilliant but I do have a very demanding job and I'm concerned if I extend my leave people will be able to fulfill my role and they may not need me anymore.

Help!!! Sleepy

  • Hi

    I'm so sorry to read that your mum has recently passed away and it's completely normal to feel as you do.

    I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you join the bereaved family and friends group which is for anyone who has lost a friend or relative to cancer to give and receive support. If you feel this might help you clicking on the link I've created will take you there.
