My Mum has died

I'm in shock really. Everything feels surreal.
She had cancer and had been having treatment for about 18 months.
In the last five weeks, everything seemed to go wrong.
We lost her.
She was so strong and now no more.
I can't quite believe I'm never going to talk to her again or give her a hug.
I'm busy trying to sort out the funeral..which is obviously not right, as it can't possibly be for Mum.
I don't even understand how I'm supposed to feel.

Sending a hand hold. I hope you will be able to put together a fitting tribute to her life at the funeral. X

I am so sorry. I know exactly how you are feeling as I lost my mum unexpectedly 2½ years ago and I still feel numb. It's easy for me to say but take each day as it comes and please look after yourself. Huge hugs to you x

I’m so so very sorry. Losing a parent is such a shock no matter what the circumstances.

Take some time and sit with it. Don’t feel you have to do anything or feel a certain way. When my dad died I just sat on the sofa for a week crying in total shock.
I’m so very sad for you. Xxx

Oh i'm so sorry - I lost my parents 8 years and 5 Years ago.

Miss them lots tho - it gets easier

You have my sympathy. Losing your mum is uniquely horrible x

I’m so sorry for your loss. There’s no right way to feel you just have to get through one day at a time. 💐

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's natural to feel
tbe way you do. At the moment you have your practical hat on, organising the funeral etc. I didn't even cry at my parents' funerals, I was in such a state of shock. It just didn't feel real. You may find it hits you later on 💐

Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad at Christmas time. Go easy on yourself (here's me handing out advice that I didn't listen to myself)

I’m so sorry for your loss. Take it steady, I hope you have someone looking out for you. Sending love.

PermanentTemporary · 25/02/2026 08:11

Oh it’s so hard. I’m sorry. My mum died three weeks ago but this sounds much more of a shock for you. I hope you can be kind to yourself.
