Hello Emma.  I lost my mum many years ago to cancer, when I was still quite young, but I will never forget for as long as I live the day the Oncologist told me and my sisters that there was nothing more they could do for her.  Emma, my advice is to say all of the things to your mum that are in your heart.........I have always regretted that I never told my mum how much I loved her before she died.  Let your mum know how much she means to you, and you know Emma, there is nothing wrong in letting your mum know that you are heartbroken, because MAYBE she feels like she has to be strong for YOU too, and perhaps you both need to cry together.  In fact Emma, cry whenever you need to........don't hold it in, crying is very cathartic.  At the moment Emma, you probably feel like you can not cope with this, but believe me, you will find the strength to get through it.  Take care mate, xx
