Hello, 

I am new to this as well and would have never imagined myself to be posting in a forum before. 

I am so so sorry to hear about your Mum. Last month my Mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I felt like my world ended that day. I am 22 and it seems stupidly unfair that people in their 40's and 50's still have two healthy parents. Some days I have no idea how I will cope and other days I feel more positive. Is she having any treatment to make her more comfortable or to enhance her quality of life? 

The only advice I can give is to try your hardest to make happy memories now and make the most of the times when she is feeling well. If she is anything like my Mum she would be hating to see you feel the way you do. It really is such a cruel disease. 

Keep you chin up.

I am exactly in the same position with my mum. I'm 27 , a single mum and currently it's just us three living together. I have no idea what to do next. Seeing her deteriorating is breaking my heart and no doubt my 4yo will go through the same process as he loves his dear nana.  they have the greatest bond. 
we had got the news today and I was at work so rushed home to be with her. 
Im thankful that my family have come together to support and as a family we are trying to stay strong and think of ways in which we can give her what she needs in the time she has left. 
It's sinking in that this is a reality and it's really happening. I just didn't think it would be here and now. She's only 64 and has just separated from her husband. I've known her to be the strongest woman in my life and seeing her so weak is devistating. 
the feeling of just not knowing is crushing and knowing that I'm loosing her ... I just don't want to accept that fact. But prioritising what is really important is keeping my mind busy and knowing that I have to be strong for my boy is the only thing that is keeping me from breaking.
