In the space of 4 weeks, my Mum has gone from playing golf, being fit and active to being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour with weeks, months to live at best. I feel like I'm on a ride that I dont want to be on and cannt get off. She doesnt look ill so its easy to convince myself that its all a mistake and thats she's going to be ok. Is it normal to feel like this?
Hi
In short - yes, I am afraid you sound totally normal to me.
For a bit more of an answer if we look at our pages on Emotional support for family and friends, especially the bit around our own feelings it is easy to see how "normal" we are. Friends often comment how well my wife looks - well she does, still got cancer though.
