Hi,

I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. Since I have met him his mum has been having treatment for cancer, initially the treatment was working well but since the start of the year she has been given the terminal diagnosis. Over the past few weeks she has deteriorated rapidly and it could be a matter of days to weeks. I am very close with the family, and try to speak to his mum most days but I am struggling with the situation at the moment. 
My main worry at the moment is how to approach the situation when she passes away. I am nervous about seeing him and his family for the first time after and worrying about what to say or do. I am trying to be there for my boyfriend as much as possible but I'm also feeling a lot of pressure and struggling with coming to terms with losing her too, whilst trying to cover up how upset I am as I don't want him to see me upset. 
I guess I am just looking for advice on how best to support him over the next few weeks whilst she is here and also any advice about how to approach the situation after it happens, with my boyfriend and his family.

Thank you
