My mum has been given 2-3 weeks to live. She has battled for two and a half years. We are devastated. I have two young children and live 240 miles away from my parents. I am staying near her at the moment with my Dad, and we are all trying to make the most of the time we have left and trying to ensure that she is as comfortable as possible.
I feel so torn. My children are with my husband's family while we are here. It's so hard being away from them but I'll see them on Monday.
I'm trying to juggle being with them and being with my mum. They are still very young. I'll be back with my mum on Friday.
I feel like I don't want to go back home. My husband's family are not my family and I will be the only one grieving. I feel like I'll be so lonely.
I do have lots of friends at home and a lovely husband. It just feels so far away and I wonder how I'll cope being so far away from my own family in the months ahead.
I know my mum wouldn't want me to feel like this.
Any words of advice would be much appreciated.
