to the day that I last saw my fantastic mum. I am miserable today it hurts so much every time I turn.on the tv that stupid up yours cancer advert is on. 45 years old, and fought so long and hard it breaks me up hearing all the I wouldn't be here without you speeches.

it sounds like you both had lots of fun being with your mums, thats nice and hopefully one day you will both recreate those recipes perfectly! i know what you mean though ive made one thing out of mums recipe book that she wrote specially for us its hard because i always think i wont do it justice!

i agree, if you ring and speak to someone else its easier than talking to someone you know. i suppose on here we are faceless strangers who can just listen whereas family it is harder. i worry about talking too much about her in case it upsets anyone else.x

I really hope this thread helps you all.

This is a particularly poignant time for me. My mum was diagnosed with severe dementia today so in a lot of ways my mum has 'gone' and even though I've been expecting the diagnosis, it's led to a lot of reminiscing today, especially alongside all the comments on this thread.

Hopefully we can all support each other during these difficult days.

sorry to hear about your mums diagnosis number that must be very hard and like you say it now feels like she is not with you even though shes still here. please share with us and chat if you feel you want too. it is so hard and people seem wary of talking about upsetting things. its wrong they should be discussed openly.
