I feel numb

My mum had terminal lung cancer which she fought so bravely. She was my best friend and i took 7 months off work to look after her which was awful as she wos only 4 stone. Priest came in on tuesday nite to give my mum the last rites and she died 15 mins later holding my hand. We buried my mum today and i dont know how am going to cope without her. x

You will exsist one second at a time and that is okay. You are going to have up and down moments as well as moments of forgetfulness and numbness, all of which are normal. Just let yourself go through the stages as they come and don't try to push them. All of these things are apart of the healing process, and must be dealt with in order for you to heal. My thoughts and prayers are wth you.

My very deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. What a difficult time for you and your family,

My mother died July 19, 2007 and it has been a life changing event. I can truly say that I will never get over my mother's death.  I will adjust to life, because I don't have a choice, but there is no way around this one

I do promise that with the help from God and one day at a time, you are going to be ok.  He will give you the strenght to survive.

My very faith was tested with the death of my mother.

It's been over a year and today I went to the cemetary and I'm lost without my mom.

From someone who also held her mother when she died, I understand your pain.  Difficult days ahead.  You will have good days and you will have bad days, but I promise you that you will be ok with time and this is one of the most testing times in your life.

Remember, that you are an extention of your mother and she would not want you to suffer she is so very proud of you.

Just remember that one day in God's time,, he is going to call on you and your precious mom is going to come running to you from the gates  of heaven and be the guidling light to show you the way.

God bless and one day at a time.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers....Judy
