My mum is going to die

My mum was diognosed with breast cancer 5 years ago and the doctors have said she only has weeks to live I dont know what to do or think and I am scared. I am 15 so I am struggling to comprehend. I hope someday down the line I will be fine but as of right now I dont know how I will make it through.

  • 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.
