Currently caring for terminally ill mum.

Currently isolated myself from friends

Currently lashing out verbally at husband 

I don’t even recognise my own life anymore. I’m losing myself and feel like I’m drowning.

Have supported mum for years and now feel like I am letting her down at the last hurdle.

  • Oh you poor thing. It's hard enough supporting someone who is terminally ill. You need your friends. You need someone else to talk to. Would you be able to access macmillan nurses for respite so you can get out. Dont feel guilty we need other people not a husband. You have to make time for you. Its not selfish it's survival x

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
