We’ve just found out my mum has inoperable lung cancer, awaiting biopsy results and treatment options. Even though we don’t know much yet, it’s in both lungs and can’t be cured. I feel like I am already grieving for my mum even though she’s still here. I’m only 33 and living my life without my mum is just unthinkable. I’m absolutely terrified and I cry so much I can’t breathe. I just don’t know what to do with myself. She’s so healthy and she’s never smoked, it feels so unfair. I have a 5 and 7 year old and when I think that they might grow up without their lovely nanna it just breaks my heart all over again. I don’t know how to function and I feel like life with never be the same again.
