Been a while since I came on here, but feeling a bit lost on where else to go.
I’m a young carer for my mum with breast cancer, I’m 18 and it’s just me and her. Today we got the news that it’s spread to her bones and it’s terminal. Doctors have given her about 2 years. I don’t know what I’m wanting or expecting from posting this to be honest, I just feel so alone and so scared. 2 years is such a short amount of time. You shouldn’t be given a countdown for someones death how is that even possible. The woman who gave me life isn’t going to see me graduate uni, or get married, or meet her grandkids. This was never part of the plan. What does this even mean for me, I’ve never lived without a mum before and suddenly everyones starting to prepare me for it. Everyone keeps saying “we have plenty of time” or “start thinking about the memories you want to make with her” and I want them to shut up. This is so not how it was supposed to go it surely cannot be real.
