Mom dying of cancer

I already posted here last week, but I feel like I need to talk again. I'm 23 and my mom is dying of cancer.

Me, dad and sister and doctors think these are her last days, but since last week nothing much changed. She's sleeping all day, barely drinking, not eating and at this point which is painful- not recognizing us. 

Quite honestly, the waiting is horrible. I wish it was over already. I love my mom and I wish I could have her here longer. But I'm checking every minute to see if she's still alive or not. I can't stand the waiting. I'm glad that at least she has a good painkillers, but the waiting is awful.

She was diagnosed in January so this all is still a shock for me. I sometimes wonder if I'm dreaming? She's been in this kind of coma state since last week. One day I'm okay, the other I can't stop crying. I feel like I'm living a nightmare.

    I'm sorry to hear that things remain much the same with your Mum.

    I'm sure it's a comfort that she's not in pain but I think many members here will understand that you don't you don't want her or the rest of the family to suffer. 

    Know that our thoughts are with you and you can post here on the forum anytime if it helps to offload your thoughts and feelings. 

    Take care.
