It's going too fast

just 2 days ago I introduced myself here. In that time my mum's cancer has gotten much worse. Today she decided to stop treatment and go to hospice. She is loopy from the morphine and barely knows we are there. I'm at home now sleeping in her bed surrounded by her stuff, which is creeping me out a little...I'm just so scared, it seems like we only have a few days. Yet every day feels like an eternity watching her suffer. Worried about the present and the future.

    So sorry you're going through this Bluedragon, nothing will ever prepare you for seeing your mum like this and it's shocking how quickly these diseases can take over, my mum passed only 3 weeks after diagnosis. At this point I would spend as much time with your mum as possible (we had a private room in the hospital and the nurses were kind enough to arrange extra beds) hopefully they will have your mothers medication right so that she is comfortable and sleeping peacefully, x
