I didn't know you had a Facebook page. What's the link please?

Thank you, I'm finding this forum a great help. My mother was in a great deal of pain and following the stroke she held on for another two days after being taken off the ventilator. I am incredibly proud of her. We used to spend so much time together - watching tv, shopping etc, even down to our first morning cuppa. I've feel like I've matured years since she passed away. I am motivated towards getting through each day with the belief that one day we will be reunited.

Hello, Where are you from? I hope that you are doing ok. I feel young at 29 to have lost my mother, I am so sorry that you have lost yours so young. I sometimes struggle with resenting people whose mothers are still alive, although I feel guilty then afterwards. As far as we knew my mother was going to fine following the operation and we had made so many plans for 2016. It's haunts me knowing that before her surgery she will told the was a risk that she would pass away and chose to keep that to herself and go through her final hours alone in hospital - the family were visiting later that night. I am so proud of her for being brave but it doesn't ease the pain of living without her. My mother was relatively young too - at 60 I thought I had many more years ahead with her. Beth

Hi all, I am a new user - this page was suggested to via Instagram. I sadly lost my mother three weeks before Christmas last year following an operation to remove a cancerous tumour - as a result she suffered a massive stroke. I remember howling like an animal after being told of her passing. Even though I'm 29 I still lived in the family home and me and my mother had an extremely close relationship. Six weeks on the pain has eased a little although I doubt given the timeframe that I have seen the last of the bad days. I'm not crying as much but then I'm not sleeping great either - it's 04:14 a.m here in the UK and I'm still awake. Hoping to share stories and support those who are currently going through similar situations to my own. Beth x
