My mum ( i was her carer) died nearly two years ago and I am slowly working my way through the bereavement process. But now my brother who was in remission from bowel cancer, has been told there is no more treatment available. I have to prepare for his death and I'm really really struggling
Hi and I see this is your first post so welcome to the Online Community.
I am so sorry to read about your brothers diagnosis and indeed about the loss of your mum but I hope you will find the support available in the community helpful at this difficult time.
When it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from talking with others caring for family so can I recommend you join our Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups where you will connect with others supporting family and friends
