It doesnt matter how old is a parent, it will always be a shock when they die

I lost my mother 5 days ago to cancer as well. She was on hospice for 2 months. I now sleep day and night to find peace. My mother was only 50. 😢 my beautiful mother is gone! 💔

I lost my mom 2 weeks ago due to stage 4 breast cancer that spread latterly everywhere... my mom was 49 y/o and I’m just 20 , I wasn’t excepting that to happen even I know it could happen to some people, but I felt like it’s never gonna happen to my mom , she is strong she had powerfully passed through 2 cancer attacks but she is still fine and strong as I always knew her. I can’t describe how sad I am now how lonely I feel, everything is totally different without her .. She always treated me as I’m her little kid not as a grown girl and suddenly I feel like I’m 40 years older to my age ..

My mom passed yesterday. She was 49 and I am 32. We grew up together and she is my best friend. I am absolutely shattered and do not know how I will go on.

i’m 20 years old & i lost my mom 3 weeks ago. at this age, it feels like just the beginning & i need my mom more than ever rn. the pain, the heartache is absolutely so unbearable & it’s nothing i’ve ever felt. idk how i’m going to live life without her, god i miss her so much.

I am 34 ,not married and have no kids ,I lost my mom 3 days ago and feel so empty and alone ,I have my dad and brother but it's just not the same .She was very sick for 2 years and I am glad atleast she is not in pain anymore and truly I feel kind of like I have PTSD ,because I was there with her watching her deteriorate and I feel a bit traumatized

I lost my mom just 3 months ago from ovarian cancer. She died 3 weeks after diagnosis and it was very traumatic, not planned. She never made it to chemo. I’m only 24. I’m angry, I feel like it’s not fair. Everyday it hurts and it will. But my brother and I are sticking together through this.

I lost my mom just about a year ago and to this day I feel destroyed inside. It's something I have to learn to live with to this day.

I lost my mom 4 days ago to ovarian cancer. I'm only 26 and am absolutely shattered. What you said about "keeping you in the dark" resonated with me - my mom also kept me in the dark about the worst of her suffering and the prospect of death, probably to protect me. She passed away a few days after her first chemo session, which actually worsened her condition. I miss her so much, she was the closest person in my life and I don't know what I'm going to do without her 💔

I recently lost my mom suddenly. She had a stroke 3 years ago but recovered well. I am only 27, soon 28. I talked with her on facetime the day before. Our last physical contact was 3 weeks ago. We hugged and kissed. I told her, "I am worried you will get a stroke or die during your vacation." she said, "Don't worry, it won't happen." - It happened... Her body collapsed. Life seems meaningless right now. It's been a week now.

I lost my mom two weeks ago and i still cannot wrap my mind around it. I miss her so much it hurts.

This gave me goosebumps. I'm 22. I lost my mom in September 2019 to Stage 4 skin cancer. She was 47 too. I feel so alone. Couldn't relate to anybody. I'm blessed because I got to spend her last two months with her but I miss her so much. Nobody knows what to do or say to me and it just never gets mentioned because nobody can relate. Thank you!❤

I lost my mother last December 23rd at 9.46pm to AML Blood cancer. She was clinically ok until the last day. She was diagnosed only on October 16th and left me within 69 days. I am 25. She is the one and only closest person I ever had. I don't know what I am going to do now!

I lost my dad. We were so close and it shattered me. I cried everyday for 3 years. At first my grief was physically painful and it took a long time for it to gradually get down to a level I could function. I am a sympathy crier. Whenever anyone tears up, I do too. I am a lot of fun at funerals.

My mom died at 62, trust me I'm just as hurt, heartbroken and shocked. Regardless of age, fitness or addictions as you say. When we love someone we will gireve them. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks. My mom passed away several weeks and im devastated...

I lost my mom January of last year. Then 6 months later my father committed suicide. Thank you for posting this. It’s been a very hard year for me. This really helped

I lost my Mom 3 months ago March 19th, 2024. I miss her, and it still hurts. I have anxiety everyday, and it feels like the hurt gets worse than better with each passing day. She was not only my Mom, but my best friend as well.

My mother passed away 4 days ago she was 76.she had cancer but didn't die from it she died from the treatments.i miss her so much we were so close she always helped my family out if we got in a bind thats a shame she thought treatments were gona help her and it killed her.

I can relate so much. I have never thought I would loose my mom at a young age because she did not have any illness at all. After basic operation she needed treatment but all the hospitals were closed because of corona, and it was too late to help, I am shocked right now, even 3-4 months passed. I turned 24 y o, I just think that we would never share moments together, my wedding, my children and etc, my graduation from masters. The death happened all of sudden. My grannny outlived my mother, and she cries when she looks at me and my sister. I know we all loose our parents but I thought it would happen when I am 50-60 yo. My mom wanted to live so much, she was such a kind person angel. She was just 52. No one from friends experienced this, so they could not tell something to me and I can understand but now I understand who are my true friends are.

my mother passed away an year ago due to thyroid cancer her death was a real shock to me and I haven't recovered from it till now...I just lost a part of my soul🙂that 'keeping you in the dark" was so true...my mother never showed me how much she is suffering for the past 8 years...she don't wanted to see me in pain...I miss you amma❤😢

When I found out about my mom's cancer I was full of hope, the results were good, she didn't look bad but within months her state changed drastically, I know what you feel....

My mom just passed away 4 days after my birthday from stage 4 lung cancer, and her wake was today. It spreads through her lymph nodes to her spinal column, stomach, and adrenal gland. She had preexisting conditions that prevented a faster diagnosis. It was 9 months that she lived after first being diagnosed last year. She previously beat stage 1 breast cancer when I was first born in 2001, after a post-natal checkup found a small eraser-sized lump on her breast. The doctors said I saved her life. I’m 22, she was 59, I wasn’t ready to lose her, but no one will ever truly be ready to lose their mothers. I’m so sorry that your mother died much younger than mine when we were around the same age. This video and the comment sections with others with grief experiences are helping me to move on. I will check in on my comment in a year and see how I’ve progressed past this hardest moment of my life. Thank you for sharing your own experience, I know taking the first step in doing so is not easy, but thank you for making it a safe space for others to speak in the comments and help each other out. ❤️

My mom was my best friend too.. People that haven't lost a parent or aren't close with a parent just can't understand. They think they we are weird for being so devastated. They think we grieve too long. They expect us to get back to work immediately.

my mother passed away 2 days ago on her birthday I'm 19 I just started collage and thought I would share my journey throughout my collage days with her she just turned 57 and had cancer twice and had really suffered for the past 3 months and couldn't eat nor sleep which makes me think she's at peace now away from all the suffering and pain but her place is empty and it will always stay this way with no room to fill just left with all the memories . my mind is blank and can't think strait and sleep well since her passing. I got to spend some time with her before her passing and then had to bury her with my own hands with my family and still refuse to believe it and she was out on work and is coming late which is shattering me . she was the most precious person in my life and she will always be . I just hope and pray that no one has to go through this pain and if you do I hope it gets better for you and everyone around you .

Lost my mom 9/06/21 due to COPD and years of smoking. She was 63 and I’m 32. I’ve never been without her. I thank God for relationship. 🙏🏽 I’m lost now but I have faith God will keep us and Guide us.

Lost my mumma in march last year, it's almost been a year, im 41 and mum was 66 she passed due to stage 4 pancreatic cancer. We didn't get time for treatment and I nursed her at home til she passed, I felt and heard her last ever heartbeat . She was my only parent. She was incredible and my best friend and other half. I am lost without her but keep fighting everyday to be the strong woman she raised, some days I can sit with it and hold my grief but the weight gets too much to bare and I can't breathe, so most days I distract myself and look for her in my children, in nature, in cooking, in my memories of her. In the joy she brought to us all and the unconditional love and hope she created in and gave us all. I take her with me everyday and every step I take is for us both.

I lost my mom 10/8/20 to ovarian cancer n it feels like i cant get over the fact shes gone. Your vid helped me alot

My mum died on Wednesday just gone from Diabetes. She was 63. I'm only 32. My older sisters are aged 37 and 40. I'm really really lost right now. She was my rock and my best friend. Her health was deteriorating really badly and she told the person she was being looked after by, told him not to say anything to me and my sisters because she never want is worrying. She passed away in Sierra Leone. I'm in Canada, Vancouver. I'm mad, angry, sad and confused. I'm out in Canada by myself. My sisters are in the UK, London. I moved from the UK to Canada in 2020. She dropped me off at the airport. We spoke every single day without fail. I just wish there was something I could have done. I beat myself up at times for purchasing her ticket to go back to Sierra Leone in July of this year. I know for sure your video will help me with the grieving. I've been listening to her voice notes, every morning. I literally spoke to her 10 minutes before she died. I'm so broken. I'm very appreciative of your testimony ❤❤

Thank you for the video. I lost my mom this year on January from cancer. I was 19 back then and my first sem in uni. My mom was 49. She was strong and beautiful. Watching this, I don't feel alone anymore.

My beautiful mom passed away of leukemia just over a week ago. She was my best friend and my biggest supporter. I feel so broken and lost, like life is pointless now and I'll never be happy ever again. She was only 53, I miss her so much. 💔

It’s been 120 days since I lost my mom to goblet cell carcinoma in November 30 2021. She kept a lot away from me to protect me. I always knew she was lying to me and knew she was trying to protect me but after she died I wished that she didn’t hide so much. The last time I saw her I reacted so badly cause I saw death on her & 3 days later she was gone. She had a heart attack in the shower in the same day they were putting her in hospice. I’m not close to my dad or brother & I feel like I’m on this island alone. She was my best friend & I miss her tremendously everyday. 💔😢

I lost my dad 3 weeks ago to leukemia, I'm 24, he was 60, things have just started to sink in recently, never would I have imagined that this would be the outcome, the doctors told us the prognosis of dad's sickness was going well, until recently when the leukemia cells spread to his joints. There are nights where I can't sleep unless I cry myself to sleep, I'm currently trying to comfort myself by watching videos like these. Thank you for sharing your story.

My mother died last March. Tonight is very hard for some reason. Thank you for this video.

I have done therapy, yoga, meditation, cardiovascular exercise for seven years. I lost my mom one year ago to a brain tumor. I love this video thank you. All of the work I did helped me grieve without the shame and trauma

I lost my mom 3 weeks ago. I’m 27 but she was 68. However, I feel 68 is still fairly young to die. And I’m certainly too young to lose my mother.

I lost my mother on 2nd August 2023,she was only 55 years old.she was suffering from chronic liver disease. We were planning of liver transplant surgery but 1 week before surgery she got infection and left us after 9 days in the ICU. I was so close to her .I miss her so much each and every single minute 💔.I became so much alone.I saw your video to get some mental support.I have exams on next month..I can't concentrate on any anything..she was my support ..I never understand why God gave such punishments..

My mother died today at 72. I still think its too young

Sometimes all I wish for is 1 more day with my mum or 1 last hug 1 last I love you! Although I couldn't bear to loose her all over again 😭 I will see you again my bella ❤️

I found this video searching for guidance . My mom died March 6 2020, on the middle of the night, of a heart attack. I’m lost. I need guidance and help and resources

Oh my god, Same with my mom, she died at age 50. We never got to talk about death. Though we both knew that it's nearing 😔😔

I lost my mom 4 days ago to stage 4 breast cancer. She was only 57. I am 27. It hurts so much. So much. This video helped because I don't know anybody going through the same. I can't believe I won't get to hug her anymore. Thank you

I lost my mom yesterday. I'm 16. it's the worst thing that could happen to me

I lost my mom last saturday... I will find strength and be the man she wanted me to be. She was a very strong woman.

For me today mark 6 weeks and 4 days without my mom. She passed away 4/16/22. She had Pancreatic Cancer. At the beginning of this year her condition worsened to the point she couldn't eat, walk. The days that I didn't go to to college I took care of her and the days that I did my grandma would be here with her. That Monday I was going to class she wanted to go to the hospital and so my sister took her. In the afternoon I recieved a call in the middle of lecture from the hospital, they told me that at that point they were trying to keep her pain free and comfortable because there was nothing else to do. Next day I went to see her and she could talk a little bit but not move. It hurt so much to see her like that my mom was always a pillar of strength. We brought her home on hospice care next day. At that point she was in a unconscious comma like state. She passed away on Saturday night at 9:27pm. All of our family had said their goodbyes and me too the day before. It sucked, I didnt get to say goodbye right when she was in her last breaths. I was sleeping because my aunt said to take a nap. I hadn't slept 2 days because I was beside my mom. One of my aunts had walked into the room saying "mija, wake up your moms not breathing." I got up in a hurry.I had to be strong I check her pulse and felt nothing. I didn't cry, I felt numb. My siblings were crying, my aunts and uncles were crying. I felt small. I felt weird. I think I was in shock. I called tha nurse, he called the funeral home. They came and took her body away. I finally broke down when then completely covered her and when the lifted her up in their car. And sorry if it seems that I'm going on and on. I just wanted to share my story. I woke up today and started crying and crying. I'm going through some of her papers and was listening to your video and crying again. I can relate with you Laura 100%. My mom was my best friend. She was my everything. I miss her so much. She was the only person I could really talk to. I'm surrounded by people but it feels like in alone. People are moving forward and I feel stuck in place. I cry at random times or when the little things remind me of her. I consider my mom my blessing just like she considered me as hers. I was an unplanned baby. My mom once told me she believed that god sent me to be by her side through her tough times. We were inseparable. As a joke we would say "I'm your therapist and you are mine" Remebering this made me laugh. So thank you. 21 years was not enough time for me with my mom but there were the best. I hate that she would never see me marry and have children but I know she be watching from heaven. Amd now it seems like I am ranting oops 😅, but I feel better now. Thanks laura for the video, it really helped and I feel much better now, feel calm and happy. Sorry for the loss of your mom, she is really pretty and you look just like her! Writing in a journal is a great idea. Thanks. And if you took time to read all this. Thanks

I lost my dad October 2021…. From cancer. It was super aggressive and I was with him throughout the entire decline… it haunts me. This video did help a bit, thanks!

Lost my mom yesterday. I can’t help myself, I’m ruined. I just turned 28 a day before she passed due to COVID . The worst thing in the world I can’t visit my country to be there for her funeral. I just want to hear that it will get better , Bc now I’m sinking

I lost my beloved Mom on 30.5.22 Just a few days ago and I feel so grieved. I don't know what to do 🙏 I feel so sad.Dad also passed away on 31.8.20.

Two days ago I lost my whole world,my Mother. My beautiful mother at the age of 50. It was her firsttime attack. She never had any heart attack before. We thought its ok every body here in the hospital are curing and my mom will be cured very soon. But one last attack and We lost my mom. She did everything for us my father was sick and incapable... Mom worked hard to provide us each and everything. She gave us education and we have jobs now. But we useless children couldn't do anything for her. We regret this every single day single second of our life. I love you my Bou. Please comeback to me . I can't live without you Mo Bou.

I’m crying. I just lost my mom.

I found you as my Mom is on hospice and I needed this. Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏🏽 My Mom is dying and I’m grieving every day.

Lost my Mother to brain cancer 3 weeks ago. I am 33. She was 57. Cannot find peace, hurts so bad. Came here to try find some form of comfort..

I don’t typically comment on RU-vid videos but I can connect with your loss. My mom died a year ago today and she passed away at the age of 56 after her 1 year battle with endometrial cancer. I was 22 when I lost my mom. Time does heal a bit of the pain but it is still very difficult. I miss her every day.

So sorry for your loss. I understand completely. The anniversary of my Mom's death is in a few days, it's been 9 years. I miss having my morning coffee with her. I miss playing video games with her. I miss her laugh, her wit and wisdom. I miss her encouragement, I took it for granted that she encouraged me the most in everything I pursued. I did realize that my Mom was my best friend my whole life, I had life long friends that eventually became jealous of my career success and we no longer are friends because of their betrayals as a result of their jealousy. I didn't lose my Mom until I was 50. I hope my daughter doesn't have to deal with losing me too early. It's been so hard for me even though I was 50 years old when I lost my Mom. I was glad my Mom got to know me in my late 40s because I grew a lot as a person and the way our relationship became best friends. The thing that's helped me when I feel depressed about my Mom's death is to cry but then remind myself to live life for me and my Mom. I'm living for both of us because I'm like her so much. Just remind yourself after you have a cry that your Mom wants you to be happy and live your best life but you will always miss her.

My dad is 77 years old, but when he was diagnosed with cancer it was still a shock. It was still immensely painful and I was still terrified of losing my dad…I have never lived in a world where he doesn’t exist. For 37 years, I’ve always been able to hear his voice, his laugh, hug him, love him and have been loved by him 💙

i lost my mum three weeks ago to metastatic breast cancer and malignant pleural effusion, my mother never told us that she still had cancer and underplayed how ill she was... im 25 with two younger siblings aged 12 and 10 to look after. rn im navigating everything but rn, finidng this video just makes me feel not alone. i am surrounded by family and friends but its super hard.

More power to you ♥️ She ( my mom ) was 56 and I'm 23 right now. I couldn't stop myself from comenting. I lost my mom 2½ months ago due to pressure stroke and lungs infection tho she never had any pressure issues before or we didn't know about her lungs infection cz there was no symptoms. She was totally healthy but suddenly our life changed just in a moment. She suffered for complete 1 month and at last she passed away and we were not with her at the last moment cz she was admitted in hospital in a different city. I miss her everyday. Life became a mess, struggling in organising our lifes. It's really hard to live without your mom.

Its been a month, and already the future feels overwhelming. I'm 23, just like you were, and I'm in the final year of med school. And while my dad is present, and he and I do share a bond, I know, deep down, it'll never come even close to the bond I've had with my mom. The thing is, I've realized, that life does go on. And I have to go along with it. It's so cruel that I cry sometimes. I'm tired and depressed and exhausted, but the world isn't stopping. For now, I just wish to fulfill my parents' wish that I graduate successfully and start my career as a doctor. And I hope I'll make both of them proud❤.

I'm 18 and my mom died 5 months ago to a stroke. Your words have helped me a lot. I felt like I was all alone but more I listen to stories related to this I feel like there are people who feel the same and I am definitely not alone. It's a different kind of pain than breakup, disappointment and other "minor" stuff. I miss her so much. Thank you for making this video

lost my mom last year ago to her short battle of stage 4 cancer at 18 it’s crazy how much you realize they’re there for you until it’s gone i think about her everyday and how much i still need her to guide me. she was the only one who truly listened.

Thank you for this. My mom passed yesterday and it hurts… it helps to know I’m not alone 🙏🏽

I lost my mother this year in January to an accident(which was very unexpected). She was only 51 years old and I am 27. She was my best friend since childhood as I am the only child to my parents. To this date I still live every moment remembering her and I don't feel like I can move on from this. I can't describe how alone I feel after she is gone in every moment. Life changes after you loose a parent and it is never the same, one can only realise the things they were protecting you from and now you have to do it yourself and also from that instance you have to become another level of an adult to do literally every thing on your own and handle things the way they were handling for you. She was very excited for my marriage and it will be happening next year and this makes me sad that the person most excited for my marriage will not be present. She used to be the happiest person about my achievements and now it feels pointless to work for anything as she will not be there to celebrate and reward me. However, as an adult you have to deal with things and move on to make things easier for other people dependent on you. I have my father and I just have to be strong for him and do things that will make him proud. I have to give the best to him that I can so that. In the end I just wish wherever she is, she should be happy and in peace and if she is looking at me I just want to tell her 'I LOVE YOU MAA'.

I lost my father in 1980 when I was 20. I lost my mother in 2009 when I was 49. I miss them both very much. Today I am a therapist and have worked with many people dealing with loss and grief. I want to say that I am very proud of you. You are so mature and wise for your age. You are a good example and encouragement for others. Your mother will always be with you.

My sister passed of Ovarian cancer at the age of 45 and she left 4 kids who she kept in the dark about her Illness. I was left in the dark as well until she was admitted to the hospital and had been there for an entire week and no no one knew. The hospital finally got in touch with me and when I arrived to the hospital I was told that my sister had cancer and it had spreader through out her body and she had 6 months to live. I was floored and didn’t know what to do. I went to my sisters hospital room and asked her did she want to go to hospice or did she want to move in with me. She said she wanted to move in with me because I’m a nurse and I knew how how to take care of her. I happily moved my sister in with me and hospice provided us with beds and medication and everything. My sister was not honest with her 4 kids about her Illness and she did not prepare them for her death. My sister ended up passing 30 days after I moved her in with me. No only was I not prepared for her passing I had to try and comfort her 4 kids who were also devastated. After my sisters passing it was left up to me to make her funeral arrangements and I did everything I could to give her an amazing home going. My nephews and nieces still never got over their moms passing and they blamed me for her dying and the oldest son never talked to me again. Because my sister was not honest with her kids they never believed she had a terminal Illness and they faulted me for her death. I was 22 when all of this happened and it’s been 5 years now and I’m still grieving and her 2 older kids still blame me😢

My mother, 56 years old has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer, metastasised into liver. I am 30, my sister is 21. Our mom is the only person we have in our life, I feel very scared, alone and completely powerless.....I absolutely feel your pain, life can be so unfair

My mom passed away 4 months ago to a heart attack. No one (probably even herself) didn't prepare anything. I woke up as usual and she's in the living room, sitting still on her sofa as usual, but without breathing. I was in a total shock, it is the worst day in my life. She's only 58 and I'm 29. She's a very charming, tender person and a really good mom. I miss her every single day and still talk to her photo sometimes. I dreamed of she hugging me this morning and woke up crying. Then I found your video and it really helped me a lot. Thank you a lot.

I lost my mom 9 months ago due to liver failure. Just as you, my mom never told me how bad it was, she kept me in dark about the stage of her sickness as I was in varsity writing my exams. So she didn’t want to disturb me.Her death was a shock to me. It kills me everyday that I didn’t get to say goodbye or take care of her at her lowest moments. I had no idea of how bad it was and I spoke to her everyday. Today I miss her soooo much. I can’t stop crying 😭. My heart is crashed again.

Lost my mother to breast cancer four months ago at the age of 47. I am 19 and my brother is just 8 years old. Things have been hard since then but with a ray of hope that it will get better sooner or later..

Lost my mum 2 weeks ago, so relatable.

her spirit will never leave you . she's in gods hand - he will never forsake you ' he's is always near you

Ugh. I remember watching this after we were told that my mom had only a few months to live. She had cancer and she was very strong and fought so much for my siblings and I, we fought against cancer for a year, but it ended us. Just a few weeks after getting the news of my mom living only for 9-11 months without treatment, she died. She died 8 days before my 21st birthday. She was only 43 and I think that's what hurts me the most, knowing she had a lot of things to do still. It's been four months since her death and it's really, really hard being without her. Knowing I'll spend the rest of my life missing her.

I lost my mom on the same day you lost yours this year & I've been in some of the worst pain I've ever been in my whole life. I'm only 22. How do I operate without the women who made me the best version of myself? She was my everything & me & her were closer than words could ever express. Me & her talked everyday & night & hung out so many times. All of this is making me feel so much hurt right now. 22 years isn't enough years for me. I need more. How does someone who was healthy just suddenly pass away from a heart attack? I'm not ready to have to live with this grief & pain for the rest of my life. She was the best mother on this planet. I loved her more than anything. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😩😩😩😩😩😩

Your mom's blessings will always be with you forever.

My heart breaks for you, young lady.

I lost my Mom on the 11th of May this year. Currently I am spiralling... drugs.. alcohol... of course I know it does not help much but I'm not able to even remain calm when I walk into my Family Home and see that she is no longer there. My Mom passed away right in front of me, in my arms... I saw the fear in her eyes and I felt her sadness as she grabbed my hand one last time. I relive this over and over everyday... Its been two months but it feels like 2 days and I thought it would be getting easier but it's not. I'm falling apart. I am very much hoping that listening to you can help me. Just looking into your eyes its like I see a familiar pain. 😪 we shouldnt ever have to go through this. Her funeral is coming up and I wish it didn't have to... i dont even know how I will survive that day.

Mum left me 1 week ago I can't accept it I'm so heart broken nothing matters now that's how I feel

I lost my mom a month ago, and also don't have contact with my father. I feel orphaned as well and it's a lonely, scary feeling. I'm not sure when to start therapy. All I know is that this is the hardest thing to go through. Thank you for this video, it does help knowing we're not just one but many who are going through this painful journey.

Today I searched for a a video, any video, that might help me prepare for the 1 year anniversary of losing my mom unexpectedly. She was my best friend. My source of unconditional love. Your video was one of the first ones that popped up and so I thank you for sharing.

Laura, always take care of your family members. Never think about personal differences. You are their mother now.

Last year on 28th Aug,my mother left me .She was only 46.I couldn't believe anything. I had never thought of living without my mother. I loved her so so much and still love her. I used to call her Mam. I feel so empty now .I just want to see her ,talk to her and share my infinite feelings and thoughts.

Dear Laura, I admire how strong and loving you are. My heart goes out to you in this time of grieving

I’m so sorry for your loss! I’m going thru the same things. I lost my mother who is my best friend died last year Feb4,2023! My mother passed away from stage 4 lung cancer. My mother wanted to protect me so her death was a shock to me! Most days I cry because it feels like a sucker punch to the gut! I miss her everything about her.

I want to send lots of support, and love, to everyone in the comments, to anyone who’s grieving, and to anyone reading this. I wish, and pray that you keep getting and having peace, happiness, and good 💛 Also, Laura, I just wanted to let you know that your words on dealing with emotions, about communicating your issues, and opening up and dealing with emotions in the moment, have helped me a lot. Thank you :)

My mother didn’t discuss her illness with me. She wanted to protect me. I accept it. I love her so much. I miss her so much. Thanks for sharing your grieving process. You helped and inspired on my journey.

My mom died in March of stage 4 lung cancer on her 50th birthday. We never talked about her diagnosis either, she died just 3 months after her diagnosis. The pain really is indescribable. Thank you for sharing your experience

I lost my sweet loving mother on 12th june 2021. She succumbed to complications caused due to Covid-19. She was only 48. I miss her so much... I love you maa. I am proud of you.

So sorry for you. I've lost my dad when I was 9. I feel like people who've lost their loved ones have a special connection and they are special indeed.

I lost my mom a few days ago on April 3rd. She had metastatic liver cancer. I spent the last weeks and days at her bedside. The trauma of seeing her body in so much pain is something I’m not sure how I will recover from. Watching your video gives me something that is very difficult for me because I also suffer from chronic depression. That something is called hope. Thank you Laura.
