Hi Marie

Im so sorry for your loss.

My mum was given 4-6 weeks to live on the Tuesday 7th of February and passed away early hours of Friday 10th February , it was a huge shock to us as weeks before we had no clue she was even ill with cancer so it was very hard  because we wanted to spend time together but she went downhill rapidly over the few days after her results and passed away, we can't quite let it sink in its such a massive shock to us all

Hi Zoe

sorry for your loss. What cancer was it? How old was your mum? How did she feel when told 4-6 weeks? Hope your okay as can be, it's the worst pain isn't it xx

She had a single cell aggressive lung cancer and spread to her brain so then had a brain tumour, she was only 52, so young and so much more love to give.

When she was told she said she had a premonition a few days before about the conversation with the doctor and that time scale, she was saddened but acted so brave and was worried for me and my dad, she accepted it and I cannot believe how amazing she was, she never once complained or got angry she was just strong and delta with it, a true inspiration to us all x

Hiya, im so sorry to hear that, you must be devestated, i know it is heartbreaking and you want to think it's not true but the best thing you can do is to except it and make every day count, my mum is gone now and I wish I could just have 1 more minute to tell her again how much i love her but I can't, you still have time, I know it seems like not long but sometimes it can be sooner than doctors think and sometimes later but take photo's make more memories and video's so you can hear his voice, that will help you after, you don't wana think that way but dont try and not believe whats happening and be in denial because you waste precious time that way, show him your strength and tell him how happy you have been and reminise about good times.

I can't imagine how you feel I have lost my mum and I cant imagine how my dad feels, he is being so brave and strong because my mum was, do what feels right for u xx

aww thank you for ur lovley words im crying again now hes in bed sleeping so i can let it all out xxx

ps love ur photo xx

Thank you, it was taken at her suprise 50th a few years ago,  sorry if I made u cry. Hope you have had a better day x

I have been told 3-6 months (2 months ago). First of all, I don't believe anybody can tell you what is going to happen. I have never done 'as I am told'. But I wanted to focus my mind and force myself to do the things that I knew I wanted to do. Stupid little things. Make a will, tell people I loved them. But mostly to prepare my teenage daughters (they have no Father). I have told them we will plan for the worst and hope for the best. I also organised, quickly, a MASSIVE party. A huge celebration of my life with 250 friends from every era of my life. A chance not to say 'goodbye' but to enjoy having a fun night in their company. It was bloody brilliant and was a chance for people to see me have a good time and for me to ask them, literally, to watch out for my girls.

Dying is really hard (and It is boring when people tell you that you may 'lose the battle'. What utter rubbish. I have never been in a fight I didn't win and my own body made this disease for it's own stupid reason. Also, that a positive mind can cure. If this was true, I would be better a million times over.) but knowing that your own death is likely gives you a chance to prioritise what you do, to indulge your memories, to tell people that you love them, and for people to come to terms with losing you. I am glad I have been given the 'heads up' even if most of the time I choose not to believe it. I am 48, nearly the same age as your Mummy. I am sure she would have wanted to know, and even more sure that she would have wanted YOU to know. I also am totally sure she would not want you to worry.

I hope this helps a little 

Hi Lucy

You are amazing! 

My mum passed away after only finding out she was ill and.being diagnosed, withing a week, we had hardly any time to prepare ourselves but thankfully we said we loved her and she was at peace and like you was selflessly thinking of others at the hardest time of her life, you are an inspiration and your daughters will hopefully grow up to be strong minded and.great like you x
