It’s been nearly two months now since Mam left us and I can’t believe it’s been that long already. Feels so cruel, I wanted time to stand still. I’m struggling to come to terms that she is no longer here.
Mam went into hospital with breathing difficulties and a scan showed findings of lung cancer which had spread. It was devastating for us both when we got the news. Mam went in on Wednesday and she passed away the following Monday.
We had no time to prepare, no time to make more precious memories. I wish I could cuddle her for one last time. I miss her so much. I still can’t believe how quickly it all happened and I sometimes forget first thing in the morning she’s no longer here and then I remember.
I didn’t realise until her funeral that I had lost my number one fan as everyone told me what she thought of me. Mam’s loss has changed me forever.
I need to get my sleep and eating back to normal but I physically can not. Now the funeral has been and gone I don’t hear from anyone. It’s comforting to read people have gone through similar things.
Losing your Mam is the worst thing ever.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My mum died on Friday and like you, I’ve lost my number one fan, I have an ache in my chest that I don’t think will go away.
The funeral is tomorrow and I know I’m going to fall apart.
Like you, I think it does help though to know that others are feeling the same way x

So sorry for your losses. I can relate to always having mum’s unwavering support. She stood by me always. Now I have to face her funeral tomorrow. Trying to channel her strength to get through it but know I am going to crumble.

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mum. It’s the worst isn’t it and feels like a physical part of you is gone.
It’s a devastating thing to happen so don’t worry if you fall apart. I hope you’ve got support around you.
I was dreading Mam’s funeral and although it was very sad the service was beautiful and it was nice to hear people’s stories about her.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow

Hi, so sorry for your loss 
.
My mam passed away unexpected the morning of Sunday 5th October with no warning and yes the world is so cruel and cant get my head around it. I think she is going to walk through the door or expecting my mobile to ring .
The mornings are the worst and yes the reality hits you like a bus over and over again.
Losing your mam is the worst pain ever .
Really sorry for your loss.
It is really terrible to lose your Mam and even more difficult when it is unexpected .
Like you I feel like she’s just going to walk in and she’s just been away.
Thinking of you.

Be kind to yourself this weekend as you prepare for the funeral. I got more and more anxious as it approached. Take time for yourself. Next week will be exhausting so rest all your can. This week has really taken it out of me. The funeral was obviously hard but the days after have been hard too. Bracing myself for news of my mum’s ashes. At the moment I’m in denial about that.

Yeah i feel anxious, my heart is pounding and feel like im going to be bad. Thank you! will do my best. Im sat in the car while my husband and son get hair cuts and the world just doesnt feel the same . I feel next week is going to hit hard and just hope im strong enough to get through this x
I had to take my son to the barbers this week and sat there feeling unable to relate to the world around me. You will get through the week and find the strength for your mum. Take it minute by minute. Lean on your family and friends for support. Is your son going to the funeral?
