I’m such a mess. 7 weeks ago life was normal. Then mum broke her hip randomly, found out she had lung cancer with no other symptoms, coughing started, became so breathless, found out too weak for treatment, went to a hospice to get stronger then 2 days later she died
she was 68 I’m 35 I’m her only child she’s my only parent.
im scared and lonely and can’t do this. I can’t understand how you can be fine then 7 weeks later be dead.
I don’t know what to do. I just want my mummy so so much. I was not ready
Oh J.E.M I'm so so sorry to be reading this. It must have been such a shock and I imagine you are in a complete bubble at the moment, how can life possibly go on without someone who was your life. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to feel every emotion. Be sure to reach out to your local Maggie's, your friends and any close family- they won't bring your mum back but hopefully they will help you find strength and comfort in such a uncertain time. Sending you the biggest hug xx
