My mum

Sadly I am like this too. Watching my mum who I love more than anything slowly fade further and further away from the woman she was and the life she had. It is incredibly cruel on us all, and so unfair. Although it is so hard, I'm grateful for every single day. I just wish I could do something, anything to change the situation we are in, but I can't.

I’m the same as mum has stage 4 mouth cancer and is finding it too painful to eat today. She doesn’t tolerate opiates and there doesn’t seem to be a strong enough alternative to ease the pain. 

The lack of control and anticipation of clock ticking is brutal.
