Im sure this seems crass.
This will probably be Mum's last Christmas, she's living with incurable pancreatic cancer.
It seems dumb to be buying gifts that she might never use, or to carry on as normal... but i really want to gift something super meaningful.
I dont want to be too morose, but has anyone experience of gifting something or receiving a good gift in similar circumstance, for a birthday or other occasion?
Yes, my time & company are a-given.
If i sewed her something to wear... she could wear it now and for the last part of her earthly journey, perhaps?
What do people wear for cremation/burial - is it too morbid to think of this type of gift?
Maybe i mean... is there anything I shouldnt consider...?
I dont know what i mean...
:-(
Hi Catelinaa964cb and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community. It sounds like you're a very caring person and I can understand you wanting to get the right gift for your mum this Christmas.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group as you'll then connect directly with other carers, friends and families of people with a terminal diagnosis.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Sending ((hugs))
