Hi,

This is my first post. 

I have come here to put all my feelings down as I don't have any other way to do this and with hopes someone with a similar experience can help in some way.

My mother is 62 and has being diagnosed with stage 3 cancer of the womb, and no matter how hard I'm trying she won't go and have the operation which will save her. She thinks that if she goes into the hospital she won't be coming back out. She is in denial about the whole situation and would rather do nothing.

It has gotten to the point where I resent her and get agitated really easily and say horrible things to her because she won't do anything to help herself or accept the help and I don't know what to do anymore. She relys on me to do things for her as she is mildly disabled and doesn't leave the house; shopping, pay bills etc, but I feel like not doing anything to help her as a punishment for her not going to the hospital. 

The whole situation has got me depressed. I'm kind of at the point where I'm just accepting the fact she will die soon and distancing myself from her, but i know in the long run it will have a worse effect on me. I just want it to be over.

  • Hi Kureigu, sending you a virtual hug - your feelings are completely normal and I bet there isn't anyone on here who doesn't understand.  I'm so sorry you're in this position with your mum, 62 is relatively young these days and it must be so upsetting to face losing her like this.  Everyone has a right to deal with their health, life and death as they choose, but it's agony for you I know.  Lots of love to you x
