Mom has a terminal diagnosis

I'm really just looking for someone to talk to that maybe went through or is going through something similar that I am because I feel so alone like I have no one to talk to and no one understands me...

i am 22 and my mam has a terminal diagnosis her prognosis is very poor... she's only in her early 40s... I've an older sister and 4 younger siblings youngest is 2... just so unfair that such young kids will be left without a mother... our dad is still in the picture but we've all been close with my mam and I'm just not coping with the idea of losing her, I need her, sometimes it feels like I only have her and without her I'd be left with nothing... 

would be nice to have someone to talk to really 

thanks,

vicky

    Dearest vicki - my heart goes out to you I can hear your angst in your words - the feeling of being so out of control,and not being able to,press the pause button.  My kids will have to go through the same. But know you are so much stronger than u realise right now. Allow the tears, let them flow and don't hide your feelings. Tell your mum how much you love and appreciate her ...... it's soooo hard to say goodbye but u will carry her in your heart forever and as u grow older u will find yourself doing things the way she did and u will smile . Be gentle with yourself .....you are loved unconditionally from beyond you are not alone.......and even when she passes she will be near just not on the physical plane. Have faith you brave lassie .... you will get through this - so much love xx
