Hi ive recently lost my mum on 20th May 2020 to terminal illness. Im struggling to come to terms with mums death as i was there at very end watching her passing away & keep seeing her lying dead next to me. We had a hard struggle from last june time till death. I was main carer for mum until 17th feb 2020 when we eventually got support from carers, district nurses & from march marie curie nurses at nights.

Now i can start grieving for both parents as lost my dad suddenly on 26th sept 16 (4 months after my wedding) this was a sudden death & we werent present at time of death. I am an only child so back then had to be strong for mum & my husband.

Im now struggling in a big way & in need of urgent support & help.

Hi Sarah15,

I am sorry to read about everything that you have been through and the recent death of your mum. The Community can be used as a safe space for you to express any thoughts and feelings you are having and hopefully other members will be able to share their experienced back.

The Support Line can however also act as a safe space for you to talk and we can also offer bereavement support if and when you feel ready to talk. You can read more about this here: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/support/telephone-bereavement-support

Please do tell us a little more about the support and help you require and we can look to find ways of helping you with that. Take care.
