Hi
V sadly my mum passed away last friday after a 3 yr battle with ovarian cancer. We know it was coming but still didn't believe it. Feel v numb and depressed.
Before she went she asked me to read something at her funeral. Does anyone have any suggestions?
At the moment I am thinking of 'Do not stand at my grave and weep' but wondered if there was something more appropriate to mums out there.
It would be really useful to hear other's experiences. I have felt largely numb and disbelief and also feel that in a way I have spent the last three years and most certainly this year grieving without being aware.
She wasn't old. Her cancer is genetic so in a way she didn't stand a chance which is ironic as she led an incredibly healthy life. I have also inherited the gene (BRCA 1 mutation) and will shortly be having risk reducing surgery later this year so the battle not yet over in a way. How do you get through this?. I'm exhausted but feel with 2 small children and almost full time job there is almost no choice but to cut on with life even if I don't feel like it.
