I was told on Saturday that my uncle has 3 months left to live. Yesterday I then got told that he could die at any minute and now I feel overwhelmed and don't know how to process my emotions. I am going home Friday ( I am 300 miles away at university). How do I cope with the information/ the not knowing when he is going to die?
My heart goes out to you, my darling. Just enjoy any time you get with your uncle and smile and share memories and stories with him. Give him hugs and love.
