My Mum passed away this week following a 3 year battle with secondary breastfeeding cancer. 

I don't know how to cope, I feel lost, empty and I don't know what to do 

  • Hi    and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but I am ever so sorry to hear about your mum, my sincere condolences.

    Getting support from people who are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.

    The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I suggest you join and post in our dedicated……

       Bereaved Family and Friends

    ……. support group where you will connect with a wide range of members navigating the exact same challenges.

    To connect with the group click on the “Bold Link” I have created above …… then once the group page opens click in the [Black - Click to Join - Banner] that appears at the bottom of the page and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.

    When you are ready……. you can introduce yourself by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.

    You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.

    As always the Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.

    Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.

    Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community ((hugs))
