Hi,

My mum is dying from bowel cancer that has spread to her liver. She most likely only has days left. I'm really struggling to cope with this news. I have never suffered from anxiety but I have recently begun having what I think are panic attacks- struggling to breathe, feeling sick etc. 
On top of this, my mum has become  confused which is very difficult to watch. She was an extremely intelligent  and independent woman having worked in business her entire life.

We are a very close family- just me, my older sibling, my dad and mum. My mum was glue that held us together and also organised birthdays, Christmas and family gatherings. I'm really worried what will happen to us when she is no longer here. 
I am only 25 and only have a few close friends (none of which have had any similar experience). I'm not close to my extended family. Usually the one to comfort me in difficult situations would be my mum and obviously now  she can't. I feel very alone and am wondering if there is anyone here who is of similar age who could offer support/advice? 
 

Thank you
