Hi Reece

That is a great idea, I think that it would help you both!  It is very hard losing a parent, but you dont want to leave things unsaid, you will regret it otherwise.  You can always tell him to read it when he is on his own, that way his emotions can stay private for him, which may be easier for him to deal with.

I found when my mum was dying, that it was good talking about happy memories of my childhood with her as well, it made her realise what a good mum that she had been to me, but in an easy chatty way.

I also reassured her that I would be ok, even though I didnt want her to die, she drew strength from knowing that She didnt have to worry about me and how I would cope.  I think it made it easier for her to let go at the end.

It is a very hard thing that you are going through, I am nearly 2 years on from losing my mum now, you never stop missing them, but it does get easier to cope with.  I just keep reminding myself that she is at peace now and no longer in the awful pain that she was suffering.

My thought and prayers are with you.
