Morning everyone
My mum passed away a week ago from lung cancer, 6 weeks after being diagnosed.
The last few days of he life watch her in so much pain and agitation was horrendous.
I feel empty and lost and so hearbroken especially as we cant give her what she deserves during this covid lockdown
I have never felt pain like this, my heart aches
Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one really looks to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about the death of your mum, my sincere condolences.

I actually lost my mum in mid November and due to the COVID restrictions and me being Clinically Vulnerable I was not allowed to be with her in hospital when she passed away, So I do feel for you as I do understand.
All the very best ((hugs))
