Mums dieing

My mum has bowel cancer she got diagnosed about 14 months ago shes had such a hard time with the treatment unfortunately she only has days left to live I'm beyond devastated I feel lost that I'm losing my best friend. I have a wife and daughter but I spoke to my mum daily and shes the only person other than my wife who I would talk to about everything. She only just retired as well and it's devastating shes not be able to enjoy her retirement with my dad and spend time with her grandchildren. I feel lost right now unsure how I will cope knowing I won't see her in the future I know parents will die eventually but loosing her at 66 and in such a horrible way is killing me inside. My dad doesn't show emotions much he tries his best but isn't the same. I have a sister but we don't get on much. I hope in time I can learn to live with it but right now I'm completely broken.

  • Hi, I'm feeling exactly the same as you right now. My mum was diagnosed 8 months ago and doesn't have long left. I'm trying to be strong but it's hard not to feel selfish about all the things we are going to miss out on, it feels unfair that I will lose my mum so soon, she's only 64 and I'm only 32.

    you're not alone
