    About

    Sunday 9th July, my mum sadly passed away at 5:45am after being poorly for almost 12 months. She had metastatic lung cancer, and more recently developed the serious condition 'toxic epidermal necrolysis' causing her to lose all of her skin, leaving her in an inexplainable amount of pain. Saturday 8th, she became confused, delirious, and started to struggle breathing. She was then diagnosed with hospital sourced pneumonia and we were told to get the family around. We all sat with her until her final moments, which were horrifying. I am now left at the age of 21 with no mother, who will never see me achieve, get married, meet my future children, see me grow up, and I am in shock still. If I'm not doing anything, I replay the whole event back to myself, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I'm a mess. I'm making this to keep my mind occupied at this immensely difficult time.

      I love the wrap. I am looking to make one for friends before I move. I am so sorry to read about your Mum. I know it is difficult but try not to focus on the bad things try to remember how she was and the lovely times you shared and how she loved you. Her leaving you in such a way is so traumatic for you. I am so sad it was so traumatic it should not have been. It will take time but eventually you will remember her how she was before she was so sick. It may help you to have bereavement counseling some find it helpful others don't so do what you feel is right for you. Sending you a big hug and lots of love.
