I lost my Mum to breast cancer in february this year, still reeling from that journey but felt supported by this chat space during her final days and often just read posts to help me through the dark moments. My aunt died last April from Sepsis related to her breast cancer treatment and now my Mums close circle of friends have three people going through various illness, one with end stage cancer (diagnosed same week as Mum), one with a heart attack and another with a stroke. Feeling bamboozled by it all and just wondered if anyone else been through a similar thing? Also feeling guilty, as have offered to help with the friend who is going though end stage cancer but came home and cried my eyes out at the the thought of having to face all that again. Mum died at home, with us all around her and although it was a good end, as she wanted, it was still traumatic in its own way and here I am back at the same place!
