Miss My Mom

my mom recently passed away after

complications from breast cancer... she

had it in 2006, went through chemo,

mastechtomy, and radiation... it came

back in her chest, bones, spine and

liver. She passed away 2 weeks ago. I

just feel so alone and sad and I just

don't know what to do. I feel like I

should be the responsible one b/c I am

the older sister of 2 girls. I am 25

but I feel like a little kid. UGH. this

just SUCKS!!!!

I really miss her every day. all the

time. i can't wait to talk to people.

thanks.

My mom died 3 months ago after an almost 

three year long battle with lung cancer. Although 

it has sort of brought me closer to relatives and 

my friends have been more caring than ever, I 

feel so alone in the world. My mom was the 

rock, the foundation of my family and my world. 

My friends want to help me but i feel so distant 

from them, I want to talk to people who know 

what I'm going through. The only one in a 

similar situation to mine is my twin. For some 

reason I haven't been able to talk to him about 

it either.

My mom died from very similar 

conditions in 2006. I was 12. That was a 

little over 3 years ago. She went 

through treatments and surgeries just 

the same. We thought she would be ok 

but it came back and spread. This was 

over a 2 year period. I am also the 

oldest sister myself, of a younger 

brother. I'm sure people around you 

keep saying it will become easier over 

time and from my experience its not 

necessarily easy its more of becoming a 

part of who you are and your daily life. 

In a way i guess that is easier. She was 

the rock in my family as well. It is 

always hard to talk at first but over time 

it is good to talk and can really help. 

Especially if its someone like myself or 

other people who have been where you 

are and know how you feel.  I'm here if 

you wish to talk more.

ago and i had no clue how i would 

handle it.It feels like i have to be 

the "woman"running the house now 

cooking and cleaning. It is hard and as 

the days pass by it gets easier i have 

my days and it is good to have those 

days for everyone. Its good to cry and 

to let it out.

Hey Everyone, 

I know how you guys are feeling, my Mom just 

passed away last Christmas, I'm in college 4 hrs 

away from home and away from the family.. I 

went through bereavement counseling right after 

she passed away, but I think it just made things 

worse at the time.. I have been having a crappy 

day today : / Miss her so much, and am sure 

you all have your ucky days too. I'm honestly 

here if anyone wants to chat, or just share Mom 

stories : ) I'll keep checking the feed.

When I was 9 years old my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. My feelings ranged from sad to confused to hopeful. My feelings don't matter- all that matters is that my mother lives a faith-filled life and the holy spirit heals her.
