My mother is dying

My mother is currently in the hospice, the dr told us today she has only weeks left. Mum has secondary kidney & lung cancer.

My mother is my one and only friend in life, I cannot imagine what life will be like in a world where I cannot speak with her.  I cannot imagine not being able to see her face, give her a hug, tell her how my day has been.

What on earth will I do.

Mum is changing everyday, she is beginning to forget things and our conversations are not like they used to be.  The nurses seem to have her pain under control which is great.

I hate to think that she will suffer.  Mum is 84 and she has had a good life, but I just want more time with her

    I remember posting on here 2 years ago feeling the same way your feeling right now. What on earth will we do without our mum. I'll be completely honest with you it's going to be so hard and your emotions will spiral out of control but I promise you time really will heal. 

    My mum passed away at home aged 53. I thought what the hell am I going to do without my mum, I felt like i'd been cheated out of time with her. I miss talking to her and seeing her face. I'd give anything to have 1 last chat with her but I tell myself now that she is at rest and she is no longer suffering. She is finally free and I feel her watching over me. 

    If you ever want to offload I'm happy to listen, take care x
