Hi Rose , I’m so sorry you are in this situation too. It’s absolutely hellish . It’s all I think of too . My darling mum is terminal and I still can’t believe it. Wake up and it hits you between the eyes again. Is your relative at home ? Can you spend lots of time with them ? I’m visiting mum in hospital x 2 day . Spending about 1.5 hours at a time , looking at old photos , going through her old diaries and having a flask of tea and China mugs . Trying to make new memories and support her as much as possible. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Try snd get some down time too. I’m taking time off work to allow that or I think I would completely break down . Take care love x
Hello Rose85,
Im so sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through. I myself lost my Dad to terminal cancer april of this year, we didnt live with him either but like you spent most days with him and made some truly wonderful memories.
Nothing can prepare us for this, use your time, talk, laugh and make memories.
Likewise though this journey is tough and so if there is anything me or the community can do to support you please reach out.
All the best,
Lucie (aka JuiceStool)
