Hello
My mum lost her fight to acute myeloid leukaemia on the 14th March. I can describe how I feel. I'm very emotional and was so close to her. Anyone any tips to help me.
Hi Monkeys
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I'm so sorry to read that your mum has recently passed away.
It's natural to want to know how to cope so you might find this information from Macmillan on Coping with Bereavement useful.
We also have a bereaved family and friends group, which is an online support group for anyone who has lost a family member or loved one to cancer to share their feelings and support one another. If you'd like to join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
