My mum was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in April and passed away on 9th June. The lead up to her passing was quite traumatic as she was in and out of hospital suffering with delirium. I was with her most of that time and cannot get it out of my head. I have such strong feelings that come over me all of a sudden that it knocks the air right out of me and leaves me winded. I am sure I am not the only one who wishes to go back in time to change things or to spend more time with their loved one. I just want to speak to her and hear her voice - it breaks my heart every time.
