I Lost My Mother To Lung Cancer

first of all i'm sorry for the loss of your mom.We have dealt with cancer in the family too and those were the worst things in my entire life. It's important to talk about it,but to look at the great times you've had together too.That cheers me up.If you want to talk,you can talk to me if you want and i try to support you as much as i can.

I am so sorry to hear such sad news and can relate to what you are experiencing. My poor dad passed away last July from lung cancer at my sister's house. I helped to take care of him while my sister was at work and was heartbroken to see how quickly he deteriorated into practically a skeleton. I was also in denial, believing that my efforts to help would have a positive impact and help him to live longer and maybe they did. Since he passed, I've done nothing since then but cry and think about him and what he endured. You have my heartfelt sympathy and a lot of hugs. But I bet that your mom is still very much with you spiritually! I believe that my dad does come around, even though I can't see him, but I talk to him anyway. I'm sure that he is very much aware of what is going on in my life. Like me, you may find some comfort in talking to her and praying for her.

I'm very sorry that you are having a hard time. My father in law passed away and my mother in law from lung cancer. Its so hard to see people suffer. When my mother in law first became sick, the doctors just thought she had a cold and sent her home for bed rest. She just continued to lose weight and the doctors started treating her for a different cancer, but she wasn't improving. It was so sad. Try to remember the good times. I take out my photo albums to think about better times. My friends all tell me it takes time to feel any better.

Sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what it would be like to not have my parents so close to me. Lung cancer also concerns me since I am a long time smoker. Hope you are able to cope with this and have a productive life.

Aww...feel really sorry for you. You have all our support and just hola if you need anything.

I am sorry about your mother.but I hope you can be strong facing all.In our all life,we can encounter many difficulties,but I hope you can smile to life,Belive yourself forever.

I am so sorry for your loss, I too lost a parent to lung cancer, even though it was 20 years ago, it still hurts like it was yesturday. You can never get over the pain and loss but as time goes on it will become a little easier, the pain will soften and soon the bad memories will turn into good memories. Try not to picture her as she looked in the hospital, instead remember her when you both were having good times and remember how happy she looked when she smiled or laughed. I had to go to a grief counslor and they really helped me through the rough times. Please seek one out as they know how to help you cope. I wish you all the best and may god bless.

I am sorry for your loss, and this is not to sound harsh or rude, but you said lung cancer, did your mother smoke or was she around people who did? I lost many family members to different types of cancer and many of them were associated with smoking.

i'm sorry for what happened my friend..yes, it's so hard without a mother beside your, specially that you and your mom are bestfriends and so closed to each other..it's just life girl, we don't know who will go first but in your case, it's so hard because you already know where she will go and when the time going by, but at least your ready..i know what your feel..just pray for her soul..God Bless

i never experienced this before. and yes, it is definitely hard. i know you are depressed and all but you just have to accept that your mother moved to a better place.

Kindly accept my heartfelt condolences for the sad demise of your Mother.I also lost my mother due to chronic neurological disease.God will help you in this time of loved ones loss, with prayers.

hi! i am really worry to hear about your mummy passing away. . surely your mummy gone to God.. definitely , your mummy make a great way for you! Don't worry ..

I'm sorry to hear that.I can't imagine what i could if my mus leave to me foreever.I always talk this kind thing with her.She just hahaha...Are you a baby?No.Are you a child?No.You already old enough to think your own life.Foe,i need your happiness and laugher all the time not the sadness and tears especially i live in the heaven in the future. Studying life,studying happy life is a difficult art,but we must to learn ,and to accept the new surroundings. Crying loudly or do some labour things till the sweat wet your clothes,tell yourself sadness has gone away.I will have a new life.Ok?Care you:)

yes!! that's very hard to cope up with this situation, losing your mother..i also have lost my mother 3 years ago but still im missing her a lot even this time..you just have to think that though she is physically absent but your memories with her can be a way to think that in other way around she is always at your side..this can be so much easy to say but this is true..you have to move forward no matter who is with or without you.this is the test of life..humans can never stay long in this world, as medicines has their expiration date...this is really quite hard but you really have to move on...help yourself..find some things to do to enjoy...

shallow as i may be but since i am an emotional person, i almost started crying while reading your discussion. i am so sorry to hear about your lost. i know how much we treasure our mothers and that how much they mean to us. just that we can't have them for the rest of our lives. it's just sad however that your mom needed to go through such a painful experience. but i believe that she had the best years of her life having you with her. there's nothing better than a mother-child relationship. wherever she may be, i hope she's happy. i know it's hard for you but i hope you get to move on. you don't need to forget about your mom but make your mom an inspiration to keep on going. i am sure your mom will be proud of you.

I also lost my father to lung cancer with mets to the brain on March 25, 2007. I think about him everyday and right now I am just trying to figure out how to go through the grieving process myself. It's difficult and I know that people say you should just remember the good times, but at this point it doesnt make it seem better. I miss him. It's hard just knowing that he's not here.

I can not even imagine what you are going through. And even though we have never met and i dont know you or your mother, i am really deeply sorry for your lost. My mother had couple of surgeries too concerning tumors. She is also a potential brea st cancer patient and we r really worried about her. I hope I dont need to got through all this coz i too have a close relationship with my mom. I just cannot imagine a world without her...

It's so sad to hear you had gone through the pain of lost.It's the most horrible thing that we have to deal with when you heard the doctor told you how much longer your love one will be able to live..It's so devastated... I lost my dad due to the same diseases "Lung cancer" when i was 18 years old.My dad suffered for almost one year and the half before he pass away.It was painful and devastated ! Well this is the reality whether we like it or not we have to accept the fact.I hope every things will be better and wish you all the best and may GOD bless you. Take care.

My mother had lung cancer.She has survived alot of years with just one lung.I don't know how she keeps going.She had numerous othter surgeries that I know were really difficult.She keeps going despite everything.

this also happened to my grandfather, who is really really also close to me. it was also very hard to accept things but only prayers helped me through what had happened. since then i considered my grandfather as my angel. when i think of my grandfather and cry, sometimes it feels like his telling me that he's happy now. it's a really nice feeling when you lift everything to God. try praying everyday, especially when you're really down..it helps :)
