Hi all. My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer (also in her lungs) earlier this year. 

She's not for treatment and has been putting up an inspirational fight. She's only 60.

Any tips for our last christmas together as a family? And how to discuss that it's ok for her to go when she is ready...as I dont want her suffering Pensive 

  • Hi  

    Sorry to hear about your mum, I wonder if this blog that was posted recently might be helpful

    With my wife's dad he was ill for some time and I remember Janice saying to him it was ok to go, helped perhaps that his family was around and we were all settled - Janice was the youngest.

    With my dad he also went through a long illness and that was hard but even so when he eventually died there was a combination of relief that he was no longer suffering and the grief that he was no longer there. My mum died out of the blue.
