Hi Tristan,

Firstly I'm so sorry to read about your mother. No doubt you will have felt and be feeling a whole range of emotions. Try to let these happen and understand everyone reacts differently and it's OK to feel how you feel.

While it's often easier said than done, try not to look too far ahead with this and instead take things one day at a time. That could be the best approach to both help your mum but also yourself too.

There are plenty of support options available should you need it, for example speaking to Macmillan, to those around you, or to us on here - or a combination.

Be sure to look after yourself during all this, and to support your mum but also focus on time to do things you enjoy.

We're always here for support on this forum so do keep checking in as much as is helpful for you.

I hope you're able to find out more soon about this.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
