I'm sorry to hear about your Mum and the long drawn out illness and treatment.
I understand that she has recently declined and is having further chemo treatment which is more difficult at her age. Your distress and your other personal problems are all mounting up and it must be so hard for you. I hope your dog is still around and you can receive its love and attention to ease your troubles.

Hi there ... So sorry your going through this heartbreaking time ...
I would say live in the day ... Don't think tomuch of the future coz then it's overwhelming...
She's here today ... Walk this last journey, like your already doing , holding her hand ... Make every day count, talk, listen to the things she probably wants to say, even though some may be hard to hear ...
There's no easy way through this ... But lots of us have lost mum's and dad's or both ... So those feelings and memories pop back like yesterday ...
Thank you such good advice, thank fully my lovely supportive dog is by my side still as she is my. Rock and as is for my mum is she adores my little dog. For 4 years we have done everything together x it is good to know that you are not the only one going through this, it is a bit scary on your own. I feel sure my mum knows she is dying but feels it hard to talk about, probably to protect me. Our parents are so so special. Life must go on and as you say many people are affected by the lose of a mum or dad, we just have to get on with it x
Thank you so much appreciated. It is a massive learning curve, I so would like to help with cancer care in the future. There is so much to learn about this dreadful disease and the treatments available. X
Hi... although many have lost parents on here ... you are feeling it now ... please don't think you have to get on with it ... it's heartrenching ... l remember it well ... at the time, l lost my mum, l couldn't understand why everything didn't just stop ... my world would never be the same again, at yet everything around me was "normal" when l felt anything but normal ...
So you take those feelings and go with them ... it's overwhelming when you hold them in ... it's about balance ... cry, scream, yell at life... then get back to doing what you need to to get through one more day ... the more you can talk about feelings , although it hurts at the time, will give you the strength you need ... always here if you need a chat ...
