Hello @Cobie ,
I’m Alex, and I’m part of the Online Community team. I wanted to say thank you for bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your mumma and how you are struggling to be away from her.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few resources which might be helpful right now.
- Our Supporting someone at the end-of-life pages contain practical advice for those helping someone close to death and information about what you can expect when death is near.
- Our Anticipatory grief page talks about the feelings associated with grief in the days, months or years before someone dies. This is known as anticipatory grief, as you are grieving for someone who is still alive.
I hope you find the community a good source of support to you.
Take good care - you are not alone.
Alex

Hi @Cobie I have just seen your thread. I am so sorry for all you are going through. I lost my Mum in August and it has been the hardest time of my life. Take things minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day… you’re in my thoughts <3
