A year on and im still struggling

Hi all

On 20th august, marked my mums first year anniversary of hrr death. Im finding it more difficult to cope this year than i did last year. I guess last year i was in shock even tho i knew it was coming.

She had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer which had spread very quickly due to complications after a hip replacement n unable to start chemo. 

Her final few hours haunt me all the time. I can hear the screams i could hear her screaming out for god to take her cs she was in so much pain. How do you get over this? Iv tried counselling it didnt work, talking to my friends is like talking to a brick wall because they would only say things that they thought i want to hear, my family, have enough going on i hate burdening them. 

I literally feel like a burden to anyone i speak to about this. I just want to speak to Mum. She knew me better than anyone.

Im completely and utterly lost and i cant seem to find myself. The only reason ive kept going is for my 9 year old daughter otherwise i believe i truly believe i would of followed Mum.

Time is not healing anything - for me its a living nightmare. 

Not sure what i want from this; i guess some better coping methods.

 

Thanks for reading  

  • I lost my sister 2 years ago very suddenly and very young it is extremely soul destroying pain ya didn’t even no existed until this happened I hear you it’s the worst type of pain I also found the 2nd year the hardest for the first year its denial heartbreak torture no sleep going around like a zombie anger every emotion there is you feel but I do promise it gets a little easier not easier as such it becomes different and even though ya still get sad sometimes you do feel happy again hope this helps 

  • I really hope it gets easier. Ive driven myself right into the ground and i have made myself ill very quickly.

    I would do anything to talk to her again. 

    Thankyou for replying x i am so sorry for the loss of your sister x

  • It’s not that it gets easier it’s like ya accept it and slowly start to rebuild your life. Personally I found coming to the 1 year and going into the second I felt like this is it I’ll never feel good or happy again but ya do it will happen keep going
