Lost a parent?

Hey all.

I lost my mom almost 3 months ago.
We found out May 7th that she had stage 4 lung cancer, and passed away May 9th.

It was an absolutely devastating moment to endure, and have to watch my mom die.

Anyone else lose a parent young, and can offer me any type of advice? Such as what you experienced in the healing process?

Thank you in advance.
My beautiful Mom.

Her and I after her mastectomy in January.

I was 19 when I lost my mom, it will be 2 years since she passed away on the 25th of this month.   its still hard

Hello. I lost my step father 5 years ago to a drug overdose. So it was very sudden, no warning. I'm now doing okay, but I went through a lot to get here. For the first year after he passed, I went through extreme depression, anxiety, massive amounts of panic attacks, among other things. It wasn't easy. It's never easy. I wish I had some advice to give you to help you through, but I don't. It's not easy. I'm sorry for your loss  

I got a memorial tattoo for him, which did work a little bit.

My mothers 9 year death anniversary is today. I lost her at age 17, she was 50.

Its heartwrenching.

Im still not over it and have cried my eyes out. Although getting my memorial tattoo for her helped me cope with it a little more and as often as I can afford it, im eventually going to be building a sleeve dedicated to her. Im always reminded of her by my tattoos  

i don't have much to offer, I went right back to work the day after and kept everything bottled up until I started having panic attacks...
You will get through this mel <3

awwwe you look just like her. I lost my dad when I was 2 so I cant really compare my experience since its very different growing up with that loss as a child compared to losing a parent as an adult where you have more memories and attachment.

i lost my dad when i was 15. it was extremely hard and honestly i still have issues with it today cause i never dealt with it. if you need someone to talk to you can always message me. and im sorry for you loss  

im so sorry for your loss   thats my biggest fear is losing my dad. hes in good health but i stil worry about him all the time.

I am so sorry for your loss.  

My mom died Feb 27, 2009 at 54 yrs old from a massive heart attack. 3 years later and I'm still in the grieving process.

My only advice is that... take your time in grieving process. It won't be an easy journey, but one day it will get "easier". I've been told that daily... and I suppose the hurt isn't as bad, but it is still there if that makes sense.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her. I cry often and I love thinking about her. My memories are what keeps me going. <3 She was and still is my best friend (beside DH).

You are in my thoughts and prayers. May your mom rest in peace.

Lost my father when I was 6 years old, And now I am married, and I got married 5 days before his would be birthday, Didnt know this, until my momma brough it up. So that helps me,

And then I was adopted, and lost my adopted father. He commitied suicide. Carbon monoxide poisning, I held him in my arms, as he was dieing, cause there was nothing that we could do to save him, he was to far gone.... Its hard, but we all got tattoos for him, but also since he died 07-07-07, On the 7th Of july, we always, have specific firworks he loved and light them off, at 3:24am.
It helped us all!

I have no words as to I've never lost a parent yet, but I just want to offer my deepest condolences to you & your family. I would imagine time heals all, keep your head up and know that she's in a better place looking down on you guys.

Thanks everyone. My mom was 53. She had a mastectomy of her right breast after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. After that, she was given a clean bill of health as "cancer free"

She got pneumonia April 27th, and they had to put chest tubes in her right lung to drain the fluid. When they did that, they did a biopsy of her lung lining. It came back on May 7th as stage 4 sarcoma of the lung.

My mom was already at that point in a lethargic state, and they couldn't tell her, so they called me while at work.. My mom hadn't told me anything about feeling off, we all just thought she had pneumonia and was on the road to recovery.. I talked to her that sunday and she told me she would be coming home that week..

Monday I got the call that my mom was dying and I needed to gather my family.
My mom was in and out of consciousness, and we had to say our goodbyes and love you's through it. I stayed in the hospital for those 3 days until she took her last breath.

The hardest, yet most humbling experience of my life.
I just miss her so much. She was everything to me.

I lost my mom when I was 14. It was a hell of a process to go through. I still feel sad and miss her to this day, but I don't feel as bad as I did when it happened.
It's alright to feel angry, depressed, reclusive, etc. it's a normal way of grieving. Remember that it will get better in time and your mother will always be with you in your heart and memory. May she rest in peace!

I'm sorry for your loss  

I lost my dad at 11. It's hard, really hard.
All I can say, is it gets better. You get used to it, you come to peace with it. But you NEVER get over it. You'll always have days where you're just so angry and sad and hurt, and that's fine. Don't ignore those feelings. I hope you find some peace soon.

Thanks Ladies.. Thats the main thing I am hearing.

"It doesn't get better, or go away, you just learn to cope."
