So sorry to hear your mums not well. A diary is a good thing too have , put your feelings down ,the good days and not so good days, a diary can be a friend , you can talk to it 24/7 when you feel you cant talk to anyone else.
Hi Muffit, so sorry about the loss of your dad. I can see a little of how much it impacted on your life.
Where do we get that strength from? wherever it comes from hon it'll come back to help you love and support your mum through this awful curse.
A diary is great anything really, a journal, an old notebook. Anything to write down how you are feeling, doesnt even have to be words!! you may feel creative one day and do a picture!!!
Its sad that you dont plan anymore sweety. None of us know what going to happen in this life but we have to continue to have our dreams, its what makes getting up in the morning worthwhile.
I went through a period when I felt exactly the same but I'm not going to let illness and death beat me. They are a part of life hon.
My own mum has terminal cancer, I'm not sure how long I have her for but feel its more likely to be weeks than months. I'm trying to make each day count. I know how hard it is to hide the fear, put a smile on your face and appear sickly positive. I tell my mum miricles happen every day, even now. I believe they do. We see them around us in all parts of the world.
Use this site it will help, the chat room is a bit scary at first but everyone is so lovely with their own story of C and how they are affected.
A big sloppy hug is winging its way to you. Take care of yourself and your precious mum. My thoughts and best wishes are with you.
