I'm so sorry, Suzy. I'm very close to my daughter and I know it was hard for her when I was diagnosed. You'll cope, although I know it won't feel that way now, because of that closeness you have. You're never going to lose that link between the two of you, even when she's not physically there. It's ok to cry but Jolamine is right about not crying too much in front of your mother. She knows this is difficult for you and probably always wants to be there to support you, but that's not possible. I hope you have some support, with relatives or friends. If not, please consider places like https://www.maggies.org/ where you can talk to people who can help. Take care of yourself. I'm sure your mother would want that. Gill xx

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Do you have people around you to support you? I know this has happened quite quickly and you're still in shock. You were close to her, so it might help you to be able to talk to her with people who knew her too. I'm sure you have some lovely memories of her that you might want to share. If you need practical help with things, https://www.cruse.org.uk/get-support/helpline/ is available on a freephone number to talk to you. Again, I am sorry. Please take care of yourself and thank you for posting to let us know. Gill xx
