How to cope with losing my Mum

How do you cope with watching your Mum in her last days? How are we going to get through it. Where am I going to get the strength? 

  • Hello Challenge

    I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum is approaching the end of her life. It's incredibly difficult watching someone you love during this phase of their life and it's understandable that you may be experiencing a whole rollercoaster of thoughts and feelings. 

    We have some information about caring for the carer and resources and support that may be available to you on our website and I'd suggest having a look when you feel able to. Take things a day at a time Challenge. If a day feels too long then take it hour by hour. Be kind to yourself and don't be afraid to cry. You're welcome to keep posting here on the forum if having somewhere to write down your feelings helps. 

    If you want to talk to our nurses at any point you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm and I'm sure they will offer any support that they can. 

    Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
