My mum has stage 4 terminal cancer of the liver that’s spread to her lungs and lymph nodes. She was diagnosed last October and we were told she has months. She’s barely been home since she was diagnosed and has been in hospital almost 4 weeks. We were called in last week to say goodbye but she’s still with us for now. I’ve been caring for her and also my dad who has multiple health issues and dementia and I was diagnosed with autism and adhd last year. Due to my conditions, my emotions are intensified and when mum was diagnosed I just couldn’t eat for 4 days. I describe myself as a child in an adults body and I’m utterly terrified of losing her. We did everything together, we like the same sort of clothes, music, foods and garden centres and because I struggle understanding written information/instructions, mum would read them and tell me what it says in a way that I wouldn’t get distressed and have a meltdown. She has been my mum, support worker, social worker and best friend all in one and I really don’t want to carry on without her. I don’t think I can cope without her and life will be too empty. If there are any Audhd people on here who’ve lost their mum, how do you cope with all these horrible intense emotions? Thanks
