Waiting

Less than one minute read time.

Well, it been over 3 months since i lost my Mum, and i am waiting for it to get better! I have been having a few more better days than sad days but am so very frustrated that i can't be strong and i can be fine one minute then bawling the next.

Driving is worse, when my mind is clear and then i start thinking and crying. And fantasising that if i just drive past her house she will be sat in the window doing her bit for neighbourhood watch as she liked to say.

I have so many questions in my head, about her treatment?why did they miss the additional kidney cancer? why did they miss the perforated bowel at the chemo clinic?  why we were never told that without treatment she only had 3 months to live, did she know?

I am a wreck and am fed up of it!

    Hi Loobylou,

    At three months it is still early days, so be kind to yourself.  Should you really be driving if you are not concentrating.

    Ask to speak to someone at the hospital about your concerns or put them in a letter.

    Don't think there is any way they can know when a patient is going to die.  A friend was given 6 weeks and several months later he was still hanging on.  

    Hope your doctor is giving you the support you need.

    Hugs,
