Hello Kelmo13,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am that your mum passed away recently and wanted to send you my sincere condolences. I noticed you have already received some lovely messages from our members on your other thread and that they have given you some excellent advice about your return to work. As has been suggested to you, if you do feel it is all a bit much there is no point forcing yourself to hit the road and going back to work as a long distance lorry driver. It does sound like a very tiring job. Maybe you need time to rest and reflect upon the last few months. If you go and visit your doctor and explain how you are feeling at the moment, I am sure they will be able to help.

We're all here for you whenever you need to chat so don't hesitate to give us a shout whenever you feel it all gets a bit much. So many people here have lost a parent to cancer and know how hard it is. We have this useful link on our website on coping with grief which may help you understand the complexity of all your emotions at the moment.

We're thinking of you during this difficult time.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
