My mom lost the battle...

[Respin_Ftw]

Yesterday at noon my mom passed away. She suffered from glioblastoma (2 tumours in her head). I am devestated...knowing that i aint going to see her again. I dont really know how to handle this. And my fiancee is due to give birth to our second child any day now. Its so much going on in my head. When i woke up this morning i thought it all was a dream...

When i realised it wasnt i totally broke down. She was 63 yrs old, and she never got to see our to-come baby =( Breaks my heart.

The whole family was with her when she took her last breath, it was an image that will stick with me forever.

It was bizarre and beautiful at the same time..atleast she died at home (without pain) with her family near. Instead of on a hospital all drugged up.

Sincere condolences to you and your family. Sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you have many great memories you can pass on to your kids.

My mom died at home as well several years ago. I feel lucky to have been there and to have those last moments with her.

So sorry for your loss,

Sorry to hear this, I unfortunately had virtually the same experience with my mum, passed at 64. You are right to be grateful that she was at home with family, unlike in my case where she had to go to a hospice for palliative care.
So I know exactly what you are going through and it won't be easy but it will get easier as time passes. In the sadness try and remember a funny incident with her, or a memorable event or occasion - it really does help. Smile as well as cry.
All the best and keep your chin up, my sincere condolences.

I am sorry to hear this. My father died at home not so long ago. You need to stay strong and pass the values that your mum taught you onto your new baby. This will be a great legacy for her.

Deepest condolences to you and your family.

Grieve now but stay strong and always honor your memories of her and pass those memories to your children as best you can.

Oh I am so so sorry for your loss.
I feel your pain all too well, having lost mine suddenly, just ripped out of our lives, and the one thing i know is few words comfort you, and for that I am so so sorry.

Do and say whatever it is that you need to do in order to cope. The body and mind have a strange way of dealing with grief and there is no right or wrong way just take it hour by hour.

That said, the last thing you need right now is advice, So maybe just come back and look at this thread at a later date, I hope it will bring you more comfort then.

If you want to ask me anything or want to just have a virtual shoulder to sound off on, then please do PM me.

Again I am truly sorry for your loss

Susan

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. It's nearly 25 years since I lost my mom, and I miss her still most days. Even though my own daughter did not know her well, I see so many of my mom's values passed on to her and how she is raising her own young family.

Even though she did not live to see the birth of your child, she knew that this phase of your life was about to happen, and I am sure this gave her great joy. While she may not be around to give you advice, if you listen closely, you will know what she would say.

My condolences to you and all your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know what you mean about being beautiful and strange at same time. I was lucky enough to be with my brother when he died from brain cancer and also my stepmom when she died from bone cancer. It was terribly sad but we also laughed a lot as a family. Watch for signs because your mom will be with you. Things will happen that you can't explain. It is your mom letting you know she is still with you. Think of all the good times and know now you have an angel looking out for you and your family.

 

[incrediblestuff]

Terrible news.. i am deeply sorry for your loss, i wish we all could live forever, and the only thing i can advise is to be strong and take all that your mother taught you and make sure that you raise your kids best you can in her honour, and know that she does live on, in you and your children!

You'll have to be extra strong for your wife and coming 2nd child, but don't eat yourself up, it's perfectly normal, and necessary to grieve, and on that note you should visit your family a lot these days, and try to let it all out.

Bit of a reflection is that this is so loaded with the duality of life, yin and yang or good and bad, the great loss you are experiencing and the world of joy you are anticipating with the 2nd child coming...


My thoughts will be with you, keep strong!

Very sorry to hear My sincere condolences.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My Aunt passed away recently at the age of 62, and after several weeks her children and grandchildren each sat down and wrote her a note. They rolled the notes up and tied each one to a helium filled balloon in her favorite color (blue) and went to one of her favorite places and each person said a quiet goodbye and set their balloons free. I thought that was such a nice idea.

Sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers are with you and yours..

 

[BMWSTACK]

Sorry for your loss, and don't forget she is in a better place.

Your mom is now gone but your non born child will take her place on earth and in your heart soon.

All the best to you.

[evaluno]

Sincere condolences.

 

[jetset]

Sorry for this huge loss to you and your family, but take some consolation from the last sentence in your post - she was at home, with the people she loved most in the world and without pain.

Cancer is certainly an abomination - so many people are struck down too soon in their lives, and in your mom's case 63 is far too young to go.

The loss of a mother is one of the worst things that someone can experience. And your mum was too young.

Take all the time and all the support you need to deal with this.

Sending A Hug !!

With sincere sympathy and condolences on the loss of your Mom.

I lost my mother to breast cancer. She was 66. I slept next to her
in the hospital for two weeks while she slowly slipped away.

The night my brothers dragged me home (for a good nights rest)
she died....I cried for years...and still miss her so.

I know she will be your Guardian Angel now and bless you and your new
baby with love and protection.

Stay strong, Cry when you have to. Remember all the good times.

 

[pmutts]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss

Only time heals. You will never stop missing her. As time goes by it will hurt less. It's so hard to know what to say to someone who has lost a loved one.

I lost my mother in 2005 and not one day goes by that I don't think of her many times. Fortunately many of those thoughts are of the good times and the laughter.

My condolences.

 

[PNEFOREVER2]

Thoughts are with you and your family at this tough time.
