In memory of my Mum

Last reply: 21 January 2012 22:47

My Mum passed away in 1981, so thirty years ago last October. It seems to be on my mind alot for the last few months. Most likely because I am now older than she ever was, she was 33 years old when she passed and my son is nearly the age I was when she died (3) and I had a little girl a few months ago.

I can honestly say Ive grieved for her alot and feel robbed of her on all happy and sad occasions in my life. Ive no siblings and feel Im the only person who still actively misses her.

I just wish she was here to meet my babies

RIP Mum

Sorry to note that nobody has responded to your posting, I hope that you will hear from someone shortly from the forum.

I imagine now that you have your own children it makes the loss of your own mum very poignant in that you are unable to share the pleasures of your children with her or gain her advice and support. Time is often irrelevant when you experience a loss like this at such a young age.

If you wish to speak confidentially with a Specialist Oncology Nurse for further support you can phone the National Cancer Helpline on FreeFone 1800 200 700 Mon to Thurs 9 -7pm and Fri 9-5pm where we would be more that happy to talk to you.

Kind regards,
Cancer Information Nurse

hi. It is hard when a parent passes away when we are young. having children does bring back memories and we wish that they were around when aomething special happens. i know that I feel like that. But I try to look in the postive side of things end make memories with the children. I there someone that you can talk to that has had the same experience as you? I wish you the all the best.
