Three weeks ago my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She had very few symptoms before this so it came as a complete shock to our family & by the time we found out it had already spread to other parts of her body. The doctors said she was too weak for chemotherapy and within a week she was moved to a hospice. I stayed with her day and night at the hospice and on Valentine’s Day she passed away. This has all happened so quickly. Christmas Day I celebrated with my family, including my mum and now she’s just gone. I don’t know how to process this, I feel empty and broken and don’t know how to just carry on normal life knowing I’ll never be able to talk to my mum or see her again.
