Hello, it could be that she’d found out late herself or she just couldn’t find the words to tell you, I can’t imagine how difficult that conversation would have been for her, she obviously loved you & didn’t want to see you upset

My sister couldn’t speak when I got to see her and I can’t ask her husband as he is struggling to cope and I don’t want to put more pressure on him

Many moons ago I found out my mum had cancer even though she’d told me it was arthritis, it took me a long time to make sense of it, it must be incredibly difficult to cope with the news yourself & maybe just not know how to tell your nearest & treasured loved ones this news, I feel she was trying to protect you from pain as long as she could.

Think you are probably right but it doesn’t make it any easier,if she had told me in May I would have had 5 months to get my head around it instead of 6days
