Hi there .. and welcome to our little chat room... 

Well this is only my way of looking at things .. and I've put them into practice ... my mum died suddenly from a heart attack and I had no chance to even tell her I was so proud to be her daughter.... she called me one Monday morning about comming up mine the next day .. at 5.20 that afternoon she had died from a heart attack... gone in the blink of an eye...

You have that chance to say to her all that's in your heart while she's o.k .. to hold her hand ... to be with her .. ask her about her life... bet there's lots you don't know... watch a movie together ... look at photos.. see if there's somewhere she wants to go .. something she wants to do ... 

Take every day as a bonus ... make as many memories as you can ... don't look ahead ... then it becomes overwhelming... this will mean more then you know ... it's o.k to admit your both scared... share tears .. and you'll even smile along the way ...  lots of us have been where you are now .. and it's not easy .. but you can do this ... and one day you'll look back and be so proud of yourself....

Can't tell you what to look out for as everyone is different ... some go very quick ... others just stay far longer ... but you can get advice from Marie Currie.... they are there for terminal illness and their families..  they can listen and answer your questions .. find out from them what help you can get .. and when you'll need it .. and where to go ... sending you a vertual hug.... chrissie xx
