Scared of the Unknown!

My dear mum got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, that is also in her ribs, lymph nodes and working its way to the spine. We got given the news About 8 weeks ago that she only has months left. I'm so scared of the unkown of what to expect. I don't think I can ever prepare myself for what's to come. I also find it extremely hard to talk to my husband about this, I'm the strong one in our family . But deep down I want to scream and tell everyone how angry I am, why my beautiful mum! Any tips or advice would be amazing. Xx

  • Hi. Krystal, you say you are strong but I am not sure you are.  Understandably you are suffering from the shock of finding out about your mum and you need to let people know you are feeling vulnerable.  We none of us know what our reactions are going to be under these circumstances.and you need support, especially from your husband.

    One thing I have found. is that talking to your mum as much as you can, try to understand her feelings and let her know how much you love her.  These things will help when she is no longer with you.

    I have been told Idon't have much longer either and have spoken to my adult children at length, telling them that I have led a good life and that none of us is promised anything.  They. understand. That life is not easy anymore and, although I love them dearly, they musnt worry.  All our talks I feel have helped us all.

    I know, Krystal,it must be very difficult but get all the support you can and don't rry to be strong. xxI
