Hi
This is the 1st time I have posted anything and I'm hoping that by sharing my sadness on here it'll help me to cope with the eventual loss of my beloved mum. She was diagnosed with cancer of the Vulva back in March, went through 7 weeks of Radiotherapy which unfortunately didn't work as they thought it would. So the next option was being referred to see if surgery was a viable option only to be told it wasn't. Mum has fought on so bravely staying at home for as long as she could still trying to keep everything going. We/she is now at the stage of bring in a hospice which was a huge relief for me as I was constantly worrying had she eaten, got to bed ok, taken her tablets (she lived with a partner but it all became too much for them both) I still worry if she's ok etc but I know she's receiving the best care possible and is being kept comfortable which for me is a comfort. I would have loved for her to come to stay with me but she was worried she would do something that frightened my chikdren, her grandchildren. My daughters (11&7) know she has cancer but not that it's terminal, I really don't know whether to tell them she is dying or not. Anyone else had/having a similar experience I would love some advice please. I am an only child so have no siblings to help or chat too, sometimes I feel so alone but I stay strong for my children.
Thank you for reading.
