Hello Melandra

I'm so sorry to hear about all that you and your family are dealing with at the moment. It sounds like it's an incredibly tough time and it's natural that you're struggling. 

Have you spoken with your GP about the anxiety that you're feeling? Please do get in touch with them for some advice and support regarding your health. It's important that you look after yourself as well as your loved ones and you might find the information on our website about caring for the carer helpful to read through. 

With regards to finances, I'd suggest getting in touch with the Macmillan benefits and financial advice team. It may be that your Mum is able to claim additional benefits and you may be entitled to claim for carers allowance so do have a chat with them for some advice. 

There's lots of support available Melandra once you've reached out and hopefully, you will be able to access the areas that you need. If it would help to talk with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
