Hi all
I am just really reaching out to see how people have coped with loosing a parent to cancer
My mother passed away on the 29/01/2025 after a 3 month battle with ovarian cancer, the short journey turned our life’s from normal to a living hell, she suffered more than anyone should have to.
My mother was only 63 and my best friend, I feel robbed of a future with her and my children.
We held her funeral yesterday and today just seems so hard to navigate, I know time is a healer but at the minute feel so alone,
