My mum has been given days/weeks to live and I just feel numb.
How do you cope with this news and carry on life as normal???

Hi [@izzlepizzle] , I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, I can remember writing a similar post to yours, so I'd like to give you my experience so far. When hearing those words, "days/weeks", like you I felt so numb, I didn't know what to do with myself, they were the worst words I've heard and dreaded hearing. But, I can remember telling myself, it's not about me, I have time to be upset and grieve later, time is so precious now and I need to help my mum to be comfortable and calm as can be. Spend all the time in the world with your mum, share memories and do plenty of talking. Look at photographs, watch films, cuddle, anything you can think of do it together. I will be honest it is tough, and try to be strong, you will get through this, it just takes time. It will be 7weeks since my beautiful mum passed away, I am having more good days than bad days now. This is just my experience, everyone is different, so Please don't be harsh on yourself, there is no right or wrong way to be. Im sending you big hugs and wish you and your mum well. If you ever need to talk just message me xx
