Hi everyone,
I feel guilty posting on here as other people are going through far worse than I am. But my lovely lovely Mum has Myeloma and is slowly dying before our eyes and I feel wretched about it. I am absolutely, totally devastated as she and I have been so close and best friends for 43 years. I make the most of every moment we spend together and we are taking Mum away for a few days in November. But I am scared about how I will cope once she has died. My partner and i have tried for children for years but never been lucky enough to have them and I want nothing more than to take a little piece of Mum forward with me. So i feel i have nothing to keep me keep going once Mum has passed as we speak every day and I love her more than anything. My Dad passed away suddenly when I was 14 and Mum held me and my 3 brothers together with little thought for herself. She is the kindest most loving Mum anyone could ever wish for. Mum doesn't want to know her prognosis and has already endured 9 months of chemo and is now on a maintenance chemo but has not rallied how we would hope. Any suggestions how to make her slow decline any easier to bear? Thank you all so much xx
