I'm an only child too, can make things quite intense!
No wonder it's hit your husband hard - I'm so sorry.
We're both in such similar situations. My husband does have some experience of death, but he's so upset too by my mum's diagnosis. She and my dad are such integral parts of our lives. She's more of a mother to him than his own mum, if I'm honest. 
It's very tough, you're right. And no correct way, everyone and every family is so different. It's been good to message you here, thank you.
I hope your mum has a good night and you have a relaxing sleep. xx

Hi Celeste

It's all sounding very similar to your situation here atm. Just sending huge hugs , it's so hard to comprehend when they give the diagnosis so sudden and can do nothing :( My FIL also has the lactolase and the oral morphine , plus an EOL package which hasn't been touched yet. 

We have his 3 sons here atm so it's just about making memories atm and just being together. I've even recorded him talking before that stops fully for my husband. 

Sending love to you all on here

Thank you, and sending hugs too.

It's the not being able to do anything that's so awful, essentially sent home from the doctor to die. Exactly, making memories, even the smallest things, really count. Taking each day.

I hope you enjoy the time you have together.

Lots of Love xxx
