Hi, my dad died 12 weeks ago and I've just been advised that my mum has an untreatable cancer and may only have a year to live. She is bearing the news with such dignity whereas I'm behaving like a spoiled toddler. I feel like screaming "it's so unfair"and I'm aware that all my negative emotions make me sound like a selfish spoiled brat.
The truth is I'm terrified that I will watch her die an awful death - I'm not strong enough emotionally and I'm having very dark thoughts. People say that they're here for me but in reality they're not really - if I told someone what was going on in my head I would get sectioned!
I wish I could be brave like my mum but to potentially lose both parents in such a short timescale is a scary prospect.
How do I pull myself together?
