Lost my mom yesterday, May 9, 2023. Rest in Peace, Mom. I appreciate everything you did, I miss you so much. I love you.

[sailorgloom]

my mom has cancer and she dosent have many months left and I hate that people talk about her dying so nonchalantly it hurts. I'm only 12 and my mom always talks about how she wanted to do so much things with me

My mom is slowly dying of cancer… lung cancer which has spread to the liver and lymph nodes. She’s only 67… she’s my best friend. We don’t have any other family. I’m 33 yet I feel as helpless and inconsolable as a child… saying I’m terrified is an understatement.
This helped lessen the hopelessness a little bit… still can’t stop crying. 😭😭💔

My mom passed 5 years ago from stage 4 lung cancer and I miss her more and more every day.

[dr.bradshaw]

I lost my Mom on my 22nd birthday 8 years ago of cancer.
Hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with. It doesn’t get easier but you just get used to it.
The biggest thing that helped me was surrounding myself with support from friends and family! Don’t worry about letting your emotions out! Cry anytime girl. You are strong and props to you for calling in.
God Bless you

Lost my mom a month ago to cancer. Just the memories of her suffering kills me but I'm trying to remember the good things. I am forever heartbroken...

[oculasb]

My mom was my go to person I would call for advice and what she thought. When she died, my mind was in such shock and I become so disoriented that I was attempting to call her to ask for advice how to handle this… Grief is no joke. I miss her, so very much.

I lost my mom last Sunday. I’m still struggling with the grief and the idea that I’ve lost the rock in my life. The tip provided to find a support group is something I had not thought about and can do.

My mom passed away to cervical cancer on 1 March 2022. She was diagnosed in the late stages and the cancer spread all through her body. To have watched the strongest woman you know suffer excruciating pain, losing both her ability to walk and eventually speak was the cruelest thing a child could ever watch. She always put me before herself and even though we argued and fought, at the end of the day we loved each other. Her last words to me were “don’t go please” and I regret that night I left her not knowing that was the last time I’d ever hear her voice. This pain will always be with me and instead of healing it, I’d like to embrace it and accept that I am broken and will never be the same again.

I found a little comfort in reading everyone else’s stories and thought I’d share mine.

"Grief demands a witness." I needed to hear that. I have been suffering silently to not be a burden on people in my life so they don't have to see my sadness.
Lost my mom in January to cancer and it has been the most painful experience of my life.

i lost my mom in breast cancer 6 months ago and everyday is like a nightmare waking up without my mom is unreal. its so painful. I cry at least once a day just because everything reminds me of her

My mom passed away yesterday Saturday 4/13/24 at 3:50 am from colorectal cancer. She fought for 4 years, was told she wouldn’t make it to her birthday last year (June 3rd), along with so many other shitty things she endured throughout these past several years. I, her, daughter, was her primary care taker for 3 years. As she declined rapidly over the past couple months I had to help her with every little thing you can imagine. I watched her lose the ability to walk, talk, be independent, and slowly die. She ended up going in patient at the hospital to help with her pain. My brother and I held her hand as she took her final breaths, we were talking to her telling her how loved she is, how grateful we are for her, and how super proud we are for everything she’s done. She was looking at us as we spoke as she struggled to breathe, just unable to respond. Initially after she stopped breathing her mouth was slightly open as well as her eyes. I left her side about an hour later to use the bathroom and when I was walking back to her bed to sit with her again she had a legitimate smile on her face. That lead me to believe that I know she’s no longer in pain and she is happy now. She was only 47 years old. I turned 26 on Thursday and she died on Saturday. I truly believe she held on just for my birthday. I love you forever mom. ❤️

my mom died yesterday, im 17 and she was fighting liver cancer, she was told she would live 3 weeks after her failed surgery, but she lived 2 and a half more years. i was laying next to her holding her hand while she was taking her last breaths. i never had a good relationship with her, but right now ive never felt more painful and it feels so lonely living in the apartment where she bought all the decorations and everything reminds me of her. i had to pick out her clothes today for the funeral and right now im having a panic attack. i miss you so much mom

[peachhipgirl]

This reminds me so much of my mother-in-law who passed away a few years ago. She was such a wonderful lady and I miss her dearly. I talked to her almost every day on the phone. The pain never fully goes away, just lessens sometimes…

[Kyszhi]

I haven't had a mother for over a decade and the pain of losing my mother, has not healed. I needed her and life has been horrible without her.
