Hi Tricia

I am so sorry, I will never understand how life can be so cruel. Firstly, you have to take care of you in order to be there for mum and dad. Make sure you eat and rest as you will need your strength. Do you have anyone to support you? MacMillan have been great for my moments of anxiety and breakdowns. Once things settle a little you will find an inner strength to get you through the next few months. Please take the help available to support you all through things to come. I lost mum suddenly and there was so much i still wanted to say and thank her for. My partner has less than 2 months and some days it's like being in a waking nightmare. I tell him how much I love him and try and occupy him with things we have done in the past and as much normality as possible. Currenly I have model aeroplanes all at various stages throught the living room, but it doesn't matter, we take one day at a time. Take care xx
