Breast cancer

Hello Jellycat87

You are so right, 8 weeks is such a short time, it’s natural you feel cheated and angry. Things probably all seem a blur since losing your mum up until now. Now will seem so much more difficult because as time moves on, we are forced to try and see things a little clearer, and this part of your future was not something you chose. You don’t need to find your way on your own, it might help to talk to someone. Do you have a Maggies centre near you, they have people you can speak with, also, the MacMillan site has access to people you can talk to. 
Getting lots of cuddles from your beautiful boys will help you gain strength while you go through changes that grief brings. It might not seem it right now but you will find your way.

Love to you and your little boys xx

I’m so sorry. I don’t have anything to offer except I completely understand. I live in the U.K. but I’m from the USA. My mom got diagnosed with a reoccurrence of her breast cancer which had metastasised to her lungs in late January. We were told she had a year, but 2-3 years with treatment. I booked a flight for two weeks later. During those two weeks my mom and I were planning how we would make the most out of the time we had left together. The night before my flight we got told that her prognosis had changed and that she only had a few weeks and would be moved to hospice care. By the time I landed her prognosis had changed to just a few days. I had 11 hours with her before she died.
