my mum died today

my mum had breast cancer in 2004 and it came back again in 2017 in her spine and liver and bone marrow and she kept having to have blood transfusions every 4 weeks and was on tamoxifen and one minute we were talking earlier and then she started to have a fit and died in hospital

im in shock right now and it hasnt hit me yet and i feel like i cant cry and im worried about what will happen when it does hit me because i know it will hit me hard

i havent really got anyone at home i can talk to so i just wondered if anyone has any words of advise

thanks

  • Hello,

     

    I'm so very sorry to hear about the death of your mam. I know exactly what you're going through having been there in 2018. My mam too had breast cancer and at the point of diagnosis it had spread to her spine.

    No wise words of wisdom - I can only suggest you go at your own pace. Every day will bring a new challenge. For me the loss of my mam was like being part of a club nobody wants to be a member of.

    These things often hit us in the moments we don't expect. Seeing other daughters and mams together shopping, that loneliness of her not being on the other end of the phone. 

    Thinking of you x

  • Hi

    thank you for replying to my post

    i know excatly what you mean about seeing other daughters and mums together shopping 

    today is not a good day ive got a lot of things going around in my head with no one at home to talk to and i cant talk to my dad because he drinks and says its harder for him than it is for me and is making out hes the only one suffering

  • No advice my love, just to say I’m so incredibly sorry to read that! Cry all you want and take your time to grieve however you need to, don’t rush back to anything like work, social events etc, put yourself first if you can and take it one day at a time xx
