I wanted to share my story of loosing my mum from such a young age and how I learn to deal with grief and loss all at once. I hope this video will at least help one person to know they are not alone. I am always here, Amy x
My mother passed away from cancer when I was only four years old. I really did feel embarrassed about growing up without a mother. I felt like I was so alone, but I started to realize that I wasn’t and I’m not the only who had to experience this. Hoping you heal ❤
My mother passed when I was 17, I'm 28 now and today is one of the hard days... it's not fair we have to grow up and continue without our moms. Sending you love
Thank you for this video. I lost my Mum 30 years ago and it still resurfaces. Like you I couldn't have got through it without the two cats that my Mum and I had. When they passed away, 11 weeks apart, 10 years after Mum, that is when my grief really came out, so my heart goes out to you and Smokey.
I lost my mother to cancer when I was 4 years old. I’m 64 years old now and I still can’t get past it. To make things worse I was an unplanned pregnancy and my mother had cancer while pregnant, which suppresses the immune system and often makes the cancer spread faster. I really did feel I was the cause of her death. I was mostly ok when I was raising my children and working full time, but now that I’m retired and my friends and children have moved far away, (the US is literally to huge to go visit people unless you have the money to travel), the grief is hitting me again. My mother died alone in hospital because children weren’t allowed to visit back then. My sisters went off to college within 2 years and never moved back home. My father turned into a raging abusive alcoholic and all my aunts and grandparents were gone. (I was a mistake so everyone was a lot older than me). My father removed all the photos were put away and her name was never spoken again. I’ve tried counseling many times over the years and honestly it hasn’t helped me at all. It was so horribly embarrassing every Mother’s Day in school when all the other kids made gifts for their mom. If anyone ever asked me something as simple as “when will your mom pick you up”, I would freeze and be unable to speak. I now recognize that I was having panic attacks even as a very young child. Going through puberty was a nightmare as you mention in your video. Why didn’t my adult sisters realize how awful that would be for me? At any rate I hope things go better for you than they did for me. You seem very strong and smart and I know you will be better off than I was/am. Best, Gail
Thank you for this I’m 17 and my mums just got diagnosed with late stage brain tumours she’s my best friend. I feel less burdened and alone when I see these videos. Thank you
Ow I’m so sorry your going through this, my sister recently passed from brain tumours , so I know exactly what you’re going through. I’m always here to chat. Stay strong lovely ♥️
So sorry to heard that. I know that is difficult proceed when happen these things but I'm sure that you are a strong woman. Really admire you, big hug 😉
Grief is like a tightly sealed bottle filled with emotions. You may keep pushing your feelings down, but eventually, something as simple as spilling a cup of tea can burst that bottle wide open, releasing all the emotions at once.
My mum died from cancer when I was 10. I can't tell you how strongly i relate to every word you have said, even down to the "your mum" classic schoolground insults hitting too close to home, not having someone there to help you with the basics, shoppibg frmor a bra, periods, shaving your legs, it can make you feel like an alien.
I’m so sorry to hear that 💔 There’s so much we have to go through and face on a daily basis which a lot of people unfortunately don’t understand. Always here ♥️
