    Very, very sad. Thinking of you and your mum and hope you can find the way to say your goodbyes when the time comes. She must be very proud of you.

  • Thanks guys. My mum is dying please be lucky, I know this but it appears to be going quickly now. I've just been on the phone to one of my best friends who has already lost her mum a few years ago and a few things have been put into perspective for me so I am feeling a bit better and ready to face whatever tomorrow brings my way

    So sorry MIT my thoughts are with you all x

    May 2013 new beginnings:j
  • Shattered physically and emotionally ! Had to go to a family communion today to represent the family and everyone was asking after mum. Apparently the rumour going around is that I'm trying to get her into a home or something :mad: I am so f*cking angry about that and that rumour better be quashed quick smart. My mum wants to stay at home and no way will I let her go anywhere. Was hard though talking to her brothers and sisters and my cousins etc as everyone is now really concerned. All my life they have been the adults and have fixed everything and now they are relying on me. I bloody hate being a grown up :mad:. Then had to go tonight to see my bezzy mate and update her as she has been away for 2 weeks on a cruise. My mum calls her , her adopted daughter as she was never away from ours when we were young, so obviously that was very emotional too. I keep trying not to cry but I'm like a dripping tap these days. I'm just knackered all together tbh.

    Money wise I spent £6 at the communion and gave the lad a £10 as a gift but we all got lunch ;) and we were so full we didn't have dinner so really it was quite frugal. Hope everyone is well xx

  • Thanks theatregal but I dont feel so strong at the moment. Totally dreading speaking to the doctor today but it has to be done. I'll report back later but now it's time to paint on a smile and face the world and deal with whatever comes my way. Have a good day folks xx

    you may not feel it but getting up everyday, dealing with everyday life and making the decisions is being strong darling...just being there and "doing" makes you strong... i've been through something very similar with my nan x

  • Doc was in today and my mum wants to go into the hospice :(. I don't even have the words. I'm exhausted and truly devastated.
