My Mum died last night

My Mum died last night. She was 54 and had lung cancer which she has bravely battled against for three years.

I feel lost. I will miss her so very much. My dd (16) is brokenhearted although my ds (5) is taking it all in my stride.

Life is going to seem so very empty now.

Dear winnie, I am so sorry to hear that your mum is no longer with you. It has shown from your posts about her how much you all love her and I'm sure being so loved gave her great strength and courage. Much love to you, dd and ds. x

winnie - i know how you feel, my mum died in 2002 of stomach cancer, she was 43. I miss her every day but am now able to smile instead of cry wehen i think about her (most of the time). She has left us with so much wisdom and so many good memories. In a way, it has made me more determined to get the most out of life. It was really hard when i got married and i have had two ds's - she would have been a wonderful, doting granny but i know that she is here with me giving me strength and looking after us all and one day i will see her again. I just wanted you to know that, yes, it is hard but it will get better and i hope one day you can think about her without feeling sad. lots of love and hugs.

oh winnie, i am so so sorry for your loss. my heart goes out to you and your family.

my dad passed away in October. i had to organise the funeral director etc, i was lucky enough to have my cousin help me as dh was still 8ookms away. have you anyone to help take some of the pressure off in helping organise anything? the first few months are so exhausting and emotionally draining. your kept so busy up until the funeral and finalising (i am so sorry for my choice of word) affairs. then so exhausted and the real grieving kicks in. so if any help is available.....

its so sad to lose anyone, life does seem and is empty without them. and your mum at such a young age just isn't fair. i remember trying to achieve a positive thought when dad passed that now at least he was somewhere he could walk as far as he want, eat what he like and not worry (he had diabetes), be with my mum - this thought may seem childish but the thought of his "no more pain and suffering" helped so slightly.

i truly will be thinking of you. be strong honey xxxxxx
