Gawd what an awful few days!!!!
Despite thinking I had come to terms with my aunts diagnosis I found I was fooling myself.
Visited the hospice on Wednesday and despite keeping myself together while there I completely and utterly broke down as soon as I walked away. I think looking at some photos of when she was young and so so beautiful and carefree and seeing her now and what this awful disease has done to her hit me hard. Also some pics of my lovely mum who passed away from the same disease over 30 years ago (I was 7) caused a few tears too.
Not coping very well and just feel this big dark cloud hanging over me all the time...then I feel guilty for feeling that way!!
Give yourself a shake!! That's what my aunt would say :-)
