My Mom

Postby beach sunrise » Mon May 05, 2025 6:44 am

Heaven opened its gate for my Mom on the 26th of April. I am so lost without her and my heart is more shattered than ever. I still have not learned how to relearn my days without my son who was murdered in 2021 and now my Mom isn't here. It's like good God can I not be left alone for a minute. The losses just keep coming for my family. I will never understand.

Losing your mom after everything with your son feels unbearable. Please know you’re not alone, it’s okay to feel shattered, and it’s okay to lean on others. I’m here if you ever need to talk or just share a memory of her.

Diagnosed with T1,T2 N0 M0 rectal cancer

Wish good luck to all!
