My mum (username Kkaren) used this page a lot during her cancer journey. Unfortunately she passed away last month. She used to speak about this page and women she had spoke to on here so thought it was only right that I let you all know.
I have been reading the posts that she put on since she joined this page and just want to thank everyone that had replied to her and helped try to ease her mind - she was such a worrier! I’m so glad she had you lovely women to confide in, as she didn’t share any of her worries with me or my sister. It makes me sad that she didn’t turn to us however is a great relief that she didn’t feel like she was alone.
Best wishes are with you all xx

Hello Kirstie,I am so sorry to hear the sad news about your mum Karen and send deepest sympathy to you all. Try not to be sad that she didn’t share all her worries with you, she perhaps wanted to protect you. You and your sister will have given her the very special love and support that only daughters can.
This forum is different because through shared experiences we can support each other with love, but also understanding. Your mum will be missed here and may she Rest in Peace
Kirstie it is me Debbie from San Diego and she was always there for me as well thank you for letting us know another beautiful teal lady has earned her wings much too early 🦋🦋🦋♥️♥️♥️💙💙💙
I'm so very sorry to hear about your mum. I know her posts often struck a chord with many of us and she will be greatly missed.I think litchick is right, mum would have wanted to protect you and you will have been a great comfort to her
Your Mum was such a brave lady during her long journey through this insidious disease. She expressed her emotions and fears that we are all going through, - many of which we don't share with our families, sparing them from the pain and anxiety. I am so glad that she was able to be open with our group. My sympathies are with you, your sister and your family.xxxx❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry Kirstie and very sad that this group has lost a valued member. She may have been a worrier but she was also brave...you have to be on this journey. I will miss her. Take care xx
My condolences to you and your family. Thank you for letting us know. This forum for many of us gives us an opportunity to share our thoughts and feelings and know we are not alone on this journey. Sharing and receiving support in our experiences. It’s sometimes very hard to talk to those dearest to us. We want to save our special times with them to make memories of happier times. Sending our love to you. 🦋Cheryl x
So very very sorry to hear of your sad loss. I hope in time you are all able to look back on all the happy times you had together. Thank you for letting us know, take care and stay safe ❤️xx Jane
Hi Kirstie, I’m so sorry to read about the loss of your lovely mum. We are all very grateful for her contribution to the forum. Thank you so much for letting us know.
So sorry to hear about your mum Kirstie. Karen was such a well known lady on this site. Bless her, she did suffer so much from anxiety. I only hope she found comfort from Healthunlocked. She will be greatly missed. RIP Karen
Hi Kirstie, thank you so much for taking the time to let us know at such a difficult time. I am so very sorry to read about the loss of Karen. I agree with all the ladies who have commented on you not being sad she didn't share her worries with you, I am sure that the last thing she would want is for you to feel this way. I hope going forward you and your family find peace with your loss and with time can enjoy happy memories. Thinking of you, Sara xxx
Hello. Thank you for letting us know. I wrote to her 4 weeks ago because I was worried about her and then again a week ago. I’m so sorry Kirstie my very kindest thoughts to you and your sister may your mum rest in a well earned peace. X
That's sad news; I'm so sorry, Kirstie. I'm not active much at the moment but this community is a life saver indeed, and your mom's posts resonated with me. I hope she's at peace. Thank you for letting us know. Wishing you strength. xx. Maus
Hi kirstie, I am very sorry to hear your mother lost her fight with this dreadful disease. Deepest Sympathies to you all. I am sure she was protecting you and your sister from her fears as she didn't want to upset you. I don't always let my family know when I am struggling as I feel my illness is hard enough on them especially my daughters who are young adults, maybe sometimes it's not the right thing to do. Please don't feel sad that she didn't share her fears with you both, as a mother I would do anything to protect my girls & your mother was just doing the same. I hope she is at peace now. Take care & I hope the lovely memories you have of her carry you both through the hard days ahead Xx
So sorry to hear. Protecting the children (however grown up!) is what Mums do so don't feel excluded. I know I don't want my children to remember me as fretful and unwell so I tend to go for a Stuff and nonsense, everything is fine! approach with them. I will take your comment on board though and perhaps try and share a little more of the bad stuff with them. All best wishees and sympathy for your loss.
Hi Kirstie. Thank you for taking the time to let us know. I’m really sorry for your loss and that you feel left out of your mother’s struggles. The same happened to me with my mother who died of lung cancer. As others have said mums want to protect their children even if it’s not what the children want. She was easy to connect with on here and will be remembered.💐🌻🌹🌷🌺🌸🌼
