  • Here’s my review of one year without my Mom. I lost my Mom to cancer in March, 2019. Dealing with the death of a mother as a young adult is something I would have never thought I’d experience. Not in a million years. Since then, I have been dealing with grief and loss, and I want to share my experience with you in this video. I am talking about what it was like to live without my Mom, what surprised me about grief, and what helped me process my loss.

      Bless your poor soul, friend. 😔 My own mother passed at 59 a week ago, from cancer as well. I just turned 22 4 days before she passed. My sleeping patterns are watching things to make me forget the pain until it’s daylight and then I go to sleep. Grief and depression meds with our ability to keep a healthy circadian rhythm , and I’m sorry that we are both going through similar experiences so far away, but so similar in nature. May our beautiful mothers suffer no longer, taken from us too young. I prayed for my mom to hit her 60th birthday while yours only made it to 59. I know you wrote this comment 3 weeks ago, Becky, but I pray for you and bless your heart and spirit. I found faith through my mother’s battle with cancer, so I will pray for you. ❤️‍🩹

      ​@@abelperezjr9948 My mother passed away due to ovarian cancer. It was one of the most gut wrenching experiences. However when she passed away I couldn't sleep well unless I had the TV on. This happened for the first week. We did have peace my sister and I, why? Because its emotionally taxing to see someone you care about deteriorate, it's taxing to cling on the hope or faith despite what happens, and it's horrible being anxious of receiving a call from the hospital or the family member who's helping you out with possible bad news.

    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 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 ..

Feels depressed & lonely but I believe and hope that God will change all the sorrows in our life to joy...

      I had cancer when my kids were 14 and 15 yrs old. It was aggressive and I had a lot of chemo. There were times when they almost lost me. They are still scared of anything happening all the time. I am so sorry for your loss. The grief can be overwhelming. I was when my dad died. I cried for 3 years. You are not alone. I think support groups are great. There are many others feeling just like you do. It helps to talk to people who are in the same situation you are. Take care.

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.

    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'm so, so sorry. The first few weeks will feel like you're going through the most traumatic period in your life because... you are. If you ever feel like you need any help, consider reaching out to a grief counsellor - it has helped me more than I could ever explain.
      You can also go through the comments section and see that you're not alone in your feelings. But most importantly, allow yourself this time to feel whatever it is that you're feeling. You don't have to be strong for anyone, it's okay to be where you are at right now. Healing takes a long time.
      Take care ❤

    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 lost my mom 3 months ago on 12/31/2021 to breast cancer. She kept me in the dark about her health so her death came to me as a shock. It hit me so hard and ever since then, I haven’t been the same. Still trying to figure out how to balance my emotions cuz I don't even know what I feel anymore. I was 26 when she passed and she was 53. March 09 made me 27 and May 27 would have made her 54. I didn't have the opportunity to see her in the last 5 years. So she died without me by her side and that kills me each time I think about it. She was an amazing woman and I miss her so badly.

    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.

      She went to the hospital one day and the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with her or didn’t care to find out then she was sent home , one week later the pain did came back which caused her to have a heart attack do to immense pain that lead to her death while sleeping.

    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 ❤❤

    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.

    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 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. 💔😢

    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. ❤️

    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.

    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

So growing up I always had my mom to lean on. She has recently (last month) been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer with mets to the brain. She went from seeming perfectly healthy to being terribly ill. When symptoms surfaced, it was too late. I CANNOT imagine my world without her. She is still fighting but we know what reality holds. No matter the age, it's still very hard. She is 74.

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.

      Hi Kerri. I'm so, so sorry. You probably feel like you might never fully heal because you lost your Mom. It will be extremely painful to live your life without her. It might help if you find a grief counselor or a therapist in your area, or online. It definitely helped me. But take your time and feel whatever you are feeling now. It's okay to be lost, it's okay to not know how to live your life normally. When you feel like you're ready to get help, you'll know.
      My heart goes out to you. Your Mom loved you and misses you, too. And she's so proud of you.❤️

I'm also an only child with no other family. Even tho I was never close with my dad , he killed himself in October 2020. Its 4am right now and im bawling, but now I don't feel alone. ❤

    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. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😩😩😩😩😩😩

    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 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.

    I just stumbled on this with a search and I can’t tell you how much it helped me, and made me cry. I’m 47 years old and I’m slowly losing my mom to dementia. It’s been a long road but as she loses more of who she is I feel her soul with me even stronger. This has been a tough road, but even in her demise, she’s taught me strength. My mom lost her own mom when she was only 19. Her mother was 44, went to bed one night and never woke up the next morning. She talked about her often but I never saw her cry. And now, as I am losing her, I can’t help but wonder how on earth she did this at 19. And how did she make it through her adult life without her mother…all the milestones…marriage, children, grandchildren…but I also witnessed her go through a lot…an abusive marriage, the deaths of two of her siblings, one of which was to addiction, the loss of her marriage, the loss of close friends….yet she was always positive, happy, and would give you her last dollar if she knew it would help. She’s the strongest person I know, and until I watched your video, I don’t think I even realized she’s been my best friend. There’s a sense of relief in your video knowing that my mom was close to your age when she lost her mom and what she must’ve gone through. I didn’t come along until 10 years later so maybe that’s why I never saw her cry and only heard the happy stories. I know my mom is proud of the person I’ve become, and the mother I am. I feel blessed that she was able to experience that, and it’s funny…never in my life have I wished so much that she had her own mother through it all. But it only helps me see her strength even more, and makes me more proud to be her daughter. Sometimes I feel like I’m falling apart, but hearing such strength from you reminds me that my own mother saw this in me, and that I can get through this too. And, that one day my tears will shift to happy tears and my stories will come out with laughs and smiles. And, it helps me to feel okay knowing that even if I am at the age where the loss of my mother would be more expected, it still hurts just the same. And that the grief is still just as real. And, it reminds me of how blessed I am to have had her. ❤️ Your mom would be so proud of you. Even for this one video alone. 😊❤️ Thank you for opening up. She clearly raised a wonderful young woman.

      Hi Sweetie ❤️I'm so sorry for your loss. It's still so fresh and I can understand what you're going through. The most important thing for you to do now is to allow yourself to feel everything you're feeling. It's true that in time you will slowly get better and you will feel happy again, but it's not gonna happen so quickly. Take your time. Cry if you want to, scream if you need to, do absolutely nothing - whatever you feel like you need to do. There's nothing you SHOULD be doing or any way in which you SHOULD behave. There is only one way to do things now and it's YOUR way.
      If you have an option to do that, I would highly recommend finding a therapist, a psychologist or a medical professional. They know how to help people go through this difficult time and I wouldn't be able to function that well if it wasn't for my therapist. There are also centers and websites that offer sessions online. I hope you will find your peace and feel better and I'm here if you need me ❤️

  • @stinesalomonssonvandijk9925

    I found this video a while back and I have saved it for today... Today it is a year since I last spoke to my Mum, and in a few days it's been a year since she passed away. By watching your video I am sort of kickstarting my own little "therapy session" for this next month, where most days will be like "a year ago this or that happened" - getting the news, travelling home, seeing my Mum in the chapel, her funeral - and then the many days after where I was almost taking over her life... Living in her house, taking care of her dog and my Dad with dementia in a care home. I will be writing almost everyday, describing things that happened, and how i felt, and really trying to deep dive into those moments and feel those feelings. The first month after my Mum passed away, is an ambivalent time to remember. Such great sorrow and stress, but also beautiful moments and love pouring in from all over. Let's say that I treasure it and now that it has been a year I wanna honour an capture as much as I can, and in doing so try to process my feelings and thoughts.
    Thank you for making this video, it made me cry of course, but that was almost the point of watching it. It helped, and has been a good start.
