I am so sorry to hear you're going through this. Sometimes journals can really help, you can jot down how you're feeling and thoughts everyday. I always feel a little better when I talk to people about how I'm feeling. 
I find it really helped me to live in the moment and not look to far ahead, this helped me because I was able to focus on the present and making memories with my Mum 
I hope you have good support. You are so young Thinking of you

You are going through the most difficult time in your life. It's always good to talk about how you feel there is always people there to listen and help. Please try and enjoy every precious moment you have with your Mum 

I'm really sorry to hear this and what you're going through right now. I hope there are other adults who can support you. I lost my mum to lung cancer on New Year's Eve 2022. I, like you had no idea how I was gonna get through. The only advice I can give you that helped me is literally take every day at a time and even every hour at a time if needed. I tried not to think about next week, month etc. Don't be afraid to tell your mum what you need to tell her. MacMillan and the local hospice team were fantastic and please speak to these people as they were a huge comfort to me and my family, especially when we were unsure of what was happening. Look after yourself and feel free to ask anything you like, no matter what. 

Hi, you and your mum are both so brave, She is very strong to have fought the cancer for five years and you will have inherited that strength from her so you will get through this even though it will be so hard. Spend as much time with her as you can she knows you're there for her and it will be comforting for you both. I lost my mam last year aged 20. Surround yourself with people who you can talk to if you can. She will be in your heart forever and you can always talk to her as she will be guiding and minding you for the rest of your life wherever it takes you. She is and will be so proud of you 

Hello Fearghas1. I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my dad recently (am in my 20's) and I remember how it felt when we were told he was going to die. I felt as though I was looking through a pane of glass at everyone on the street just living their lives; as if I was so completely separate from them, living my nightmare. What I found really helpful was to stop my mind from thinking beyond the present day . I would focus on my breathing if my mind started to wander ahead. I also used to record all our conversations, even if it was silly mundane things, and take little candid pictures. The other thing is to sit down and say everything you want to say to your mum; there is nothing worse than having regrets later on. I take a lot of comfort from the fact I told my Dad a lot just how much he meant to me. 
It's such a tough time for you, but just know you WILL get through this. I thought I'd be unable to even get out of bed when my beloved dad passed away and yet here I am just taking each day as it comes and allowing myself to feel whatever emotion happens to be there at any given time. Sending you my very best wishes. 

I am so sorry to hear about your beloved mum and what you are going through. I recently lost my mum in January, I am 31 years old and she was only 64 years old. I would spend as much time as possible with your mum and make memories. I found the only way I can cope is taking it day by day and having family and friends you can speak to does help. Ask your mum all the questions you have always wanted to know, you will treasure those moments forever. My messages are always open, I know how hard this journey is and the fear of the unknown. Thinking of you xx 

My mum passed this morning and it has been the worst day of my life I dont know what to think or do she died in front of me I miss her so much already
