My mum has just days left

My beautiful mum is dying. I'm really struggling because she has never wanted to discuss dying with us, it's only days ago she admitted to the doctor she was scared of dying and scared of dying in pain but she has never spoken to me about it...

I feel guilty for not directly discussing it with her and now it's too late. She must know what is happening and feel so scared and its breaking my heart.

 

  • hello 

    firstly really sorry you are going through this right now :( cancer is a @@@@@@@ 

    i lost my dad 7 weeks after his wife died to cancer and its hard really hard, i think my dad hid alot of how he was feeling to spare his kids the pain, i used to sit with my dad from 6am till 4pm when one of my sisters would take over his care and we chatted alot, i could read his face to tell if he was in pain, he said feeling some pain for him was knowing he was still alive (strange huh) but when the pain got too much he demanded a shringe driver himself !! so what im trying to say is this is your mums journey just say you are there to listen to her concerns and if shes scared to tell you etc i spoke to my dad alot about dying and he promised he would come and visit me, im still waiting but i bet hes having a ball where ever he is .. i did have a very strange vivid dream when he passed and my step mon was there she was telling me my dad was ok and not to worry and he was in the pub with some mates that had passed before him !! i told her i loved her and missed them both x she just said we are ok over and over again then faded away it was very odd i woke up crying and i can still remember every single thing about that dream x

    take each hour as it comes, play some music she loves, and hold her hand and tell her its ok she will be ok and taken care of x x
