I care for both my parents that were diagnosed with cancer. My Dad passed away in December and I’m still trying to cope with the grief. My Mum was diagnosed before my Dad in 2015 with stage 4 cancer of the ovaries, stomach and lungs. She was doing okay until recently. Now she’s getting a build up of fluid in her stomach which has to be drained quite often and the doctors are talking about palliative care.
I am really struggling but know I need to stay strong for my Mum. I’ve called a few places to try and get some support but have been told they only really help when someone has passed away and although my Dad has I’m also dealing with and focusing with what’s happening with my Mum so they don’t think their courses would be beneficial right now.
I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get any help to both deal with the loss of my Dad but also help me come to terms with what’s now happening to my Mum?
