I’m struggling as I was told on Friday that my mum has maybe a week , 2 at a push. Im staying at her house , my stepdad and her decided a few months ago when she was told she had cancer that she would stay at home and he would look after her, we’ve got the local hospice coming in with carers and district nurses etc
But the shock , reality of seeing her decline is awful and watching her fade away in front of my eyes,
I’m just feeling numb and not sleeping well either
How do others cope and how have you managed
Thank you x
Hi. So sorry to hear of your news. I can imagine that it is a struggle and one that you find is difficult to face
I wish I could offer you something in the way of good news, but I have found myself in a similar position.
About 14 days ago I lost my mother to dementia and Alzheimers, she passed away at home. She was cared for by my dad. He sadly was told on Thursday that he had stage 4 lung cancer, and at 91 there was no hope of giving any treatment
I just wanted to say that I feel your pain and truly hope that you find a way through
