Mum has passed away

[Sam_in_UK]

Just to let you all know my mum passed away this morning. They were treating her for a bowel obstruction but it was her heart that gave up in the end. She was in hospice and not in any pain so I am getting great comfort from that. This board has been a great source of comfort and advice when I have needed it. You are all stars. Much love to all, Sam x

Dear Kelly, that is exactly how I feel. Im trying to get comfort from the fact that mum is no longer in pain, but all I want is her with me. I can't get my head around why this happened to my mum. She is the most beautiful, kind, caring person I know. She didn't deserve to get this awful disease. She lived for her family, she never wanted flashy holidays, clothes or jewellery. She just loved the simple things in life, being with the ones she loved. The hole she has left in my life is massive and I know it can never be filled. I cant ever imagine being happy again, I know there will be happy occassions to come but without mum there it will never be happy. I would do anything to have her hold me one last time and say 'night, night darling Godbless'. I remember the last day I saw her and sitting holding her hand, just to have that time again would mean so much. Her last words to me were 'give Ben a big hug'. Ben is my 3 year old son. She always finished every conversation with those words. I can't believe I will never hear them again. I still want my beautiful mum too Kelly, I hope they are looking down on us and will give us the strength to get through this. How old was your mum ? My mum was 62.    Much love, Sam x

How are you feeling today Sam? Stupid question really as no doubt you feel like you've been hit by a steamroller just as I did in the days following my mums passing. I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not coping well at all. I just adored my mummy and whilst I know she isn't in any more pain - there is just a massive great gaping hole in our family lives now and that won't ever change. Any amount of time isn't going to make that better. I can appreciate all the great times we've shared  - but I still want my beautiful mum.

Sending you lots of love and strength Sam at this very sad time
love Kelly x

If you wanted to email me to 'chat'  that would be fine - but am not sure how to pass my email on to you. Any ideas?

Dear Sam....I join with everyone here in saying how very sorry  I am to hear that you have lost your dear Mum. She is at peace with no more worries of fighting this wretched cancer, so you will find peace in knowing that. Time will dull the pain that you are experiencing now Sam.... but you will always have the wonderful memories of times that you've shared with your Mum over the years. Nothing will erase those. Take care of yourself now. Thinking of you....hugs....Helen...
