Hi,
my aunt has had spine cancer over 2 years and recently found out that it spread to the brain. They say it’s a brain tumour and Friday told her she has weeks to live maybe a couple of months best case scenario.
she is more than an auntie to me she is like a second mum, I’m 24 years old and haven’t really experienced loss to me, not a very close member of family anyway.
I see her every day and speak to her every day.
I can’t bare the thought of losing her, how do I come to terms with losing her? At the moment I feel so numb I can’t even cry.
How do you prepare for someone so close to you to leave you for ever?
Hi and welcome to the online community
I can totally understand why you're feeling as you do having just been told that your aunt only has a matter of weeks left and I wondered if you'd benefit from joining the supporting someone with incurable cancer group.
If you'd like to do this clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can join and post in the same way as you did here. The group is for carers, friends and families of people with an incurable diagnosis to discuss their emotions about the prospect of losing their loved ones, as well as practical issues about palliative care and end of life.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
