My gran was diagnosed at the start of this month and has been told she has weeks to live. It is her birthday tomorrow and I am struggling at the thought it will be her last one. I am finding things extremely difficult already and knowing the worst is yet to come is a pain I have never experienced. We are all trying to be so strong for her, as she is being so strong for us, but I feel like I cannot hold myself together for much longer.
