Any day

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???

    I read your post and wanted to reply as I know this feeling sadly. 

    My main advice would be to spend as much time as you can with your mum, laugh with her, cry with her and just tell her everything you want her to know. In the days afterwards when it feels incredibly difficult you will feel relief that you did this. 

    As you will read from many people here, it's not an easy journey, but your mum will leave all her strength with you to carry on even when it feels impossible and she will always be with you in your heart. 

    Also, I would say it's not possible to carry on as normal after this news, as it is life changing. Anyone that expects you to, without empathy has clearly never experienced what you're going through right now. 

    I'm sending a huge amount of strength and love to you and your mum for the next while. Take care of yourself too XXX
