My mum is dying

My name is Sara I'm 31 and  my mum is terminally ill with bowel cancer. Her life is coming to an end, she has had it 4 years she is only 56 she has stopped all treatment now and there is nothing more they can do for her. Every day she gets worse she is deteriorating very fast and has it everywhere now even on the brain. Lately she has started to say things that don't make sense. I'm so scared that soon she won't know who I am that would devastate me!  I'm petrified of her dying, I've never lost someone close to me I'm scared beyond words I feel like I won't be able to cope with this I'm not strong.  My sisters getting married in just under 2 weeks and we are praying she makes the wedding. My sister moved it forward for my mum. I also have another sister who turned 21 yesterday. My mum and dad both remarried but they still get on and my dad Is also a mess to as his 3 girls are Loosing there mummy. I'm so scared of what's to come, no one understands. I live with my boyfriend and he is very supportive but it's still hard to explain how I feel. I'm working in London everyone carries in as normal having there fun lives while I go through this nightmare every single day.  Any advice is much appreciated. I need all the support i can get. Love Sara x

    Hello , I kept trying to reply last night but everything I went to type just did not seem right . I was talking with my sister about you today and we both recalled how we both felt the same . I have 2 s3 sisters and a brother and out mum was our best friend as well . The      Only advise I can give you is take each day as it comes if you have a bad day remember 2mw is a new day , tell your mum how much you love her and be there for each other . I wish      I could take some of your pain away but I thought I could not live a day without my mum its 9 months ago now and I miss her so much but I also know whe is no longer suffering . I went to church this morning and lit a candle for you and and will be praying and thinking of you all .
