Caring for my Mum who has Brain Tumours and on Palliative Care

Hello, 

I will keep this short - I am 27 years old and currently live at home with my Mum and Dad, My mum has been in hospital for a month as she has 3 brain tumours that they can't cure due to other illnesses such as lung disease that if they went forward with radiotherapy it could be worse for her health. 

I am 20 weeks pregnant and plan on moving into my own home eventually with my partner but I am currently living at home, my baby is my mum's first grandchild and she has always wanted grandbabies and I believe she keeps on fighting so that she is here to meet her.

I am looking forward to my mum coming home and being with us again, I feel lucky I have more time with her - but I also really worried and anxious as every morning about coming downstairs and her possibly passing away (I know it sounds awful even having these thoughts) but I am so scared to loose her and I already wake up with anxiety until I know she is ok

I would just love some advice on how I can change my mind set and worry - as it is a routine of mine now every morning to feel anxious about whether I have another day with her or not, please x
