Hi, 

I am so sorry about your mum,  everything your feeling is absolutely normal.  

My mum too is in her last weeks. It is heat breaking. 

Some days I can talk bluntly and not get upset. Other times i blub mid sentence without warning.  

For me not knowing how long we have is the hardest thing. 

We are in week 3 of "weeks not months"

If your mum has accepted the news. Then I'm sure you can approach the subject gently. She maybe be afraid of upsetting you too. 

I'm sure MacMillan and palletive care will be involved too and will ask some questions of Ur mum's wishes too. 

Has she got other people with her?

Is she currently able to do things?  Perhaps ask if there is anywhere she wants to go? Or anyone she'd like to see? 

This site has been such a great relief to talk to to people who can relate and understand but that are not involved.  So many kind words and truthful. Which is what we all need at times like these x

Hi [@Lmmrose]‍ , Thankyou for taking the time to read my post. I'm also so sorry to hear about your mum. Thankyou for reassuring me that my feelings are normal. I totally agree that it's the not knowing how long is the hardest. I have been able to see her today which has helped me massively. She is in a hospice at the moment for recovery and are allowing 2 visitors to spend 3hrs each person per day which is great, so I have travelled to her today. She looks so well. She is not mobile at present as she has spent  since new year in a bed, but the staff at the hospice have said they are trying to get her a little more mobile within the next week whilst she is there. She is returning home after the hospice. I'm hoping we can get her in the wheelchair when she is home to take her to her favourite place where she met her fiancé.  I have only been part of this forum a few days and it has helped me loads reading other people's experiences.  I'm always here to chat if you like, I think it helps massively talking to someone who is also experiencing the same thing.
