My mum was told the news 2 weeks ago that she is terminal.
I found out yesterday.
It was bowel, she had radio & chemo but it has spread to her lymphatic system, apparently it’s rare & not been seen & non-operable.
12 months without treatment & less than 5 years with treatment.
She is dying, i’m going to lose my mum & not to old age.
The consultant said ‘oh it’s nothing to worry about’ at first & now she is dying, going to lose my mum.
How do I support her? I’m terrified & i’m know she is to, I love her so much, it’s horrendous news.
My boyfriend & I are going to do a commitment ceremony so she can see me who I would look on my wedding day, just so she can see this.
My dad says everything he does is for ‘Moley’ that’s his name for her, this is crucifying but I want to support her best I can?
How do I process this?
Feel selfish for being so upset & scared as I know my mum has been given the worst news imaginable.
What do I do? How do I help?
