  1. You have my deepest sympathy. Losing a parent is not easy, even less so when it’s from unnatural causes. Stay strong

  5. Condolences.

    When I was 18, I lost my mother to an extremely rare cancer.

    20 years later I still haven’t talked to my father about how hard we miss her. It’s too painful for us. We can talk about everything, except that. Some would say that’s typically Flemish.

    I hope you are able to talk to everyone who loved her about her and grief together. That’s more healthy.

  6. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please think of your mental health and don’t hesitate to talk, to your family or here, it doesn’t matter but if you need to talk please do!

  7. That must be devastating to the point where you can barely function from the grief…my sympathies

  12. My condolences! I lost mine when I was 17 and it really fucked me up (withdrew myself from pretty much everyone) for way too long.

    Make sure to see you friends and family enough and don’t be afraid to talk about the loss, how you are feeling!!

  15. I’m so sorry for your loss. I googled the disease and it indeed sounds terrible. I’m happy though that your mom received so much love from you.

    I lost my dad from a heart attack when he was 60. All I can say is talk to family, friends, colleagues… about your mom and your feelings and take your time.

  22. Sorry for your loss, 62 is too soon. I hope you have tons of lovely memories to treasure and I’ll let this be a reminder to enjoy and make the most of every day we have on this crazy blue rock. Sterkte!

  23. Man i know how that feels, It can be very hard.Please take your own time at your own pace,and if you feel that you have negative energy that’s making you hostile or violent or perform anything that is negative towards yourself or others.Please try to redirect That energy .My mother also died last year of cancer so i could feel what you feel.if you want me to talk to you more please tell me i’ll be more than happy to.

  25. Sorry for your lost. I lost my mom to cancer two years ago and she was my best friend. I hate to say that it never gets easier and the pain still feels raw. I don’t know if it is relatively new or not but my mom used to grieve her mom a lot even though she lost my grandmother 20 years ago. I believe you’ll have take each day at a time and let yourself mourn your lost. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The pain comes like a wave: some days you are okay and some days you cannot bear the pain. However, you’ll adjust some new ways of life. Keep talking about her with your family, friends, and people you can lean on. That’s one of way to remember her. Sending hugs to you and your family x

  26. I wish you all the love and strength in the world. Please never forget that grieving is very normal.
