Hi, my name is Emma and I'm truly sorry to hear about your Mum. My Mum was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour five years ago, she died in the summer of 2012. My husband Nick has terminal pancreatic cancer. Please don't feel bad about not crying, everyone reacts differently. It's a really hard thing to come to terms with, I'm finding some of my colleagues are actively avoiding me and it has affected my relationship with some of my friends, I don't think they have the emotional intelligence to deal with it. It's totally understandable that you are less tolerant, when I hear people whining about petty, trivial things I want to shout at them. I struggle a lot of the time, there are days when I don't feel like getting out of bed. I can't offer you any solutions, but be kind to yourself, don't beat yourself up about the way you are feeling.
