Anticipatory grief is very real

I'm feeling so stuck, the thought of loosing my mum is so tough.  had covid this week too, so have been at home with no distractions. I hate waking up knowing this is not going away, she is going to have to go through what she does and I already can't talk to her like I did. I confided in my mum with everything, when I lost my dad, I was affected hugely and she has been a big part of supporting me. I don't  know how I can loose her and cope. 
 

feel so anxious and anxious about how I'll cope.

  • Anticipitary grief is very real. I was heartbroken when I got my dad's terminal diagnosis 4 months ago and would cry my eyes out a lot and just not know how I would cope and I was scared for what he and we would have to go through. We were given up to 5 years although sadly he declined and passed away two weeks ago. The last few weeks were awful, although being able to care and be there for him at the end did help in some way. I don't really have any advice except to take each day as it comes and feel whatever you need to feel. Tell her how much you love her and cherish the time together and remember all those good times in the future. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. This community is a big help xx
