I joined this forum at the end of April and reading other peoples stories has made me feel less isolated and alone. My mother is now in her final days of lung cancer. To watch such a strong, independent and very active wonderful mother slip further away is heart-breaking. I hold her hand and tell her I love her but there is so much in want to say and thank her for, but I just don't know if the time is right or if I should say anything to her - is it necessary? Does she already know how grateful I am that she's the best mother in the world? Does she know I'm sorry if there were times I let her down? Has anyone else had these fears and, if so, what did you do? I fear time is running out and I may regret not saying anything. On the other hand, I don't think I could do this without getting very upset. I can't write a letter as she's so frail she can barely open her eyes. Any advice is welcome xxx
