Hi
My mum has been battling cancer for almost 5 years now it started in her breast and has now moved into other parts of her body I am 15 and I therfore live with my mum, dad and my 10 year old brother. I have seen how much my mum has been getting weaker recently and how many times she’s had to come in and out of hospital. I’ve just been told that my mum has 2 or 3 months left to live. I keep having to cry myself to sleep as I don’t like to get upset in front of my mum because she only just gets more upset.
I feel like I should be distancing myself from my mum before she dies because maybe it will hurt less? I know this isn’t the right thing to do but I don’t know how to deal with my emotions. I don’t feel like I can talk to any of my friends because they don’t know what I’m going through and don’t know how to help me. My dad wants me to talk about my feelings all the time but I’m just not that kind of person. I don’t want my mum to die and I don’t know how my family is going to cope with it when the inevitable happens why should I do during these last months?
