I have just been told my mam will die soon and has up too a year no more and could be less. I am 22 and she is 46 I have always lived with my mam she is the only parent I have I love her so much and can't imagine life without her and I am scared of how bad it will get soon the cancer is now in the brain and everywhere else in the body. I've been told to expect her to get worse has anyone been through this, I've never lost anyone before in my life so my mother i can't imagine it. Is there anything anyone would give me for advice on what to do with her before anything happens, what they wish they could say if they had a chance too, if grief gets better

    Hello I am similar in age to your mom and if I was in this position I would want to spend time with my children, eldest 27years doing something that we could smile about, the simple things but then for my 40th birthday we went to an animal event that had lots of Guinea pigs, we had a lovely time one I remember for the chatter and smiles. What would you want if it was the other way round,? How would you like to spend time. I am not sure if this helps any but saw your message earlier and couldn't leave it without a reply. Theres people who care and people who can support, take the best of care and catch as many 'moments' as you can to treasure.
