How do I cope with losing my Mum

My Mum has advanced pancreatic cancer which has spread to her abdomen. I am so so scared that she doesn’t have long left. She was diagnosed a year ago and I should have made the most of that time with her but I just wanted to live like normal because I just couldn’t accept it and dont think I ever will. I honestly don’t know how I am going to live my life without her. 

  • Welcome to the forum SLFord although I'm very sorry to hear your mum was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer last year. 

    So many of our members know how challenging it can be to cope with the thoughts and feelings this situation can cause so you are not alone SLFord and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

    I hope this information I've found about anticipatory grief will provide you with some strength and comfort as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you SLFord and sending all our support at this very difficult time.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
