Hi Chloe- I'm in similar situ situation. How old are you and how old was your mum? My mother was 63 diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died within 18 months. She was actually almost herself until the last few weeks, which was in some ways a blessing, but made her passing a sock even though we knew it was coming. Basically the pain became acute and the pain relief drugs killed her. My niece and nephew miss hier, but now 8 weeks on I miss her more than I believed possible. My wee boy too young to register it. It just kinda feels that any innocence that comes from not facing mortality is gone. I am only clining onto the fact that I have been lucky not to face this till the age of 34. Luckier than a lot of folk. But it doesnt take the 'missing my mum' part away  nalkate xx

Hi Nalkate,

I am also 34 and mum is 73. We have just been told there is nothing more they can do for her liver which metatsied from her thyroid cancer. I'm struggling beyond words.  She is my rock and my best friend to me and my three year old. It breaks my heart she won't see him grow up. How did you get through it? Will I forever have this sadness? My heart is broken and I don't want to lose my mum.
