My amazing wonderful mum is currently in hospital, she has been there for nearly 5 weeks. She has Kidney Cancer with mets on her lungs and spine. Amongst other things she now has pneumonia, I am broken. I don’t know how I am going to cope and get through this. Only 2 years ago I lost my Dad in horrendous circumstances. I just don’t know how to function and get through this again. I feel useless, guilty when I am not there with my mum and guilty when I am not at home with my children
Hi MrsN84
So sorry to hear about your mum, under all those pressures I am not surprised that you feel pulled in all directions. Looking at Your feelings when someone has cancer we can see how "normal" you are - and certainly not useless. Really glad you came here though because that really shows you recognize finding a friend and on here we just understand.
<<hugs>>
