I don't know why my Mum died, I'll never understand and it's so hard to understand but you come to a point where you just have to accept it.
My mum died of secondary breast cancer in April 05'. I found out in the March previously that she had cancer, I found out by myself - there were bereavement books under her bed.
The night she died I was in shock, and at the Funeral. I didn't cry until after the funeral. And I only ever cried by myself. But when I did - it was a lot of crying! I felt like like my heart was being wrenched in two - my life being pulled apart. But then I'd feel better.
It still happens now - sometimes, and it probably will for a long time. I don't know why my Mum died, I'll never understand and it's so hard to understand but you come to a point where you just have to accept it. But it is hard, unbelievably hard.
But when you get those times of relief when you don't feel so bad, cease them make the most of them. And you've got your whole life ahead of you so make the most of it. One of the things that I've learnt is that you can't plan your life, because things will always knock you off course. Also boys are crap when you're upset, they haven't got a clue what to say, but that's o.k coz there guy's!! I hope this has been some sort of help
