Hi all my lovely Mam was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer two weeks ago and was given 8 months or so. She went downhill last Thursday and we got her into the hospice on the Friday morning. By this time she was so exhausted she could really have a conversation with me and my brother . 
Everything happened so quick and she died a few hours later. I feel so lost she was my go to person for advice, my shoulder to cry and and my best friend.

I feel so numb have barely cried, I’m so tired I just want to go to bed and stay there forever.

Is this normal Sweat
