How did people feel after been given a timescale?

Hi...my mum was given days to weeks to live on 3rd Jan and died on 7th. I wanted to know if there was anyone here who has been given a timescale and what their thoughts were about it!? I didn't get to talk to mum about how she felt about being told this. I've got it in my head she would have been so sad about leaving me and my brother and her grandson (mum was 49) x

    Sending you heartfelt sympathy. My sister was given 6 months to a year, she died 6 months to the day later. she was 39.  It gave us time to prepare her little girl who was 7,  time to make memories and time to talk. At such a tragic time we felt very lucky to have the privilege to be able to do that.
