I lost my mum on 31/12/2016 and my dad 06/12/2017. I was 33/34 at these times. I am now turning 40 but still suffering so bad with PTSD ( never officially diagnosed so I think it may be this).
From diagnosis to passing it was 6 weeks for mum 18 months for dad. Mum cancer of unknown spread everywhere and dad liver cancer (from meds for SLE not drink related)
at the end mum passed ina 24 start to finish and when she did black blood poured out of her mouth and nose and I cannot get this image even now out of my head.
dad took 10 days and he suffered awful dry cracked tongue. He was terrified of dying and held on as long as possible.
I was scared to be with him at the end as I was worried about the blood happening again which it didn't.
when will this get easier ?
