Advice for dealing with devastating prognosis

I don't think there are any words to describe how I'm feeling right now, bar numb. As a family we've heard that my mum has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. There are no curative options on the table and without us present, she's been told that she may have less than 3 months. 

None of us have been sleeping and I'm absolutely terrified. 

Do you have any advice for staying strong and keeping a family members motivated? Or just anything we can do or say to have a semblance of control? 

  • My mum is currently on palliative care with stage 4 bowel cancer so I understand what you're facing. Some days i feel strong and others I feel a mess and cannot think straight. All I can say from my experience with this is take each day at a time and lean on those  close to you. It's going to be tough there is no doubt but i keep thinking I've got to try and be strong for my mum. I've cried, I've screamed I've done it all. Sending love and best wishes to you.
