Hello, I’m just posing to get a bit of advice here.
My partners mum has stage 4 breast cancer. We have just recently found this out as we were both under the impression that she was getting better. We don’t know much information about it all as she didn’t want my partner to worry about her but he will be going to a dr ap with her in a month or so.
The reason I’m posting is I’m just at a bit of a loss of how to comfort him well. I’m a bit of an emotional person and I can’t seem to talk to him about it without me crying and getting upset because I love his mum and I also hate seeing him so upset as well. I just don’t want him to feel like he has to comfort me when it should be the other way round.
Does anyone have any advise on how I can be better and controlling my emotions and how best to comfort him.
Thank you.
