i lost my sister 18 months ago to bowel cancer and if my heart wasn't broken then it's now been completely obliterated with the news that my best friend and sole mate I am privileged to call my mother has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer spread to her spine . My mum brought 4 children up as a single parent and I owe her my life. I am her only living daughter and will be with her every step of the way. I hold my tears in and try to be strong but inside I am beyond destroyed. How do I cope with this? How do I talk to her? Do I cry and tell her I'm scared as much as she is? Do I stay strong? Please help me - xx
