Hi Mandi1976,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to read about your aunt and also your mum.This certainly sounds like an incredibly tough situation.

The distance I'm sure makes it difficult, but you can show your support by keeping in touch with them, letting her know you're there for them and that they're not alone.

I'm not sure what their relationship is like but speaking to others is usually beneficial, and as far as possible trying to be honest and open and to reach out to others. I realise this situation is maybe also putting you in a difficult position, so try not to feel like you need to do everything.

Hopefully others here will be along with suggestions too - my reply here will boost your post so that more people will see it.

I hope you find this forum useful - we're always here for support if you need it.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
