My mum has been given 1 to 2 months now and is detoriating rapid, for the last year we have made lots of lovely memories and my emotions were up and down .now I find I can't stop crying and I try so hard not to cry when I with mum but I just can't.
My mum vision has now gone and she is totally blind, it's so heart breaking.
I know there's no answers but just wanted to chat.

Hi Disney,
I'm really sorry to hear you are struggling so much. Tears are fine... you are losing someone really precious, and it is fine to grieve that. Indeed, it would be very odd if you weren't all over the place.
As the others have said... there is nothing really to say - except that we are here for you. Nothing we can say will make this next few months better. It is a bugger of a journey. I just want to concur that we are standing with you and at least we can say we understand how you are feeling.
Well done for all you have done to date... for making the memories, for looking after your mum, for keeping yourself in one piece. I know it is agony, but it won't last forever. Some day the challenges will stop for your mum and you will be able to draw breath and get your head back together.
Are you able to access any counselling? I managed to get some through the hospice and found it helpful just to talk through how I as feeling with someone each week. Especially in the last few months it helped me to keep myself together.
Try to look after yourself...
Big hug.
Pete
Hi Disney
I'm so sorry you are feeling so awful. It can just hit like a tonne of bricks sometimes can't it. I always find I stay mostly strong and accept the place we are at with my dad, and then out of nowhere I feel totally distraught again.
I hope you are feeling a bit better than you were the other day when you posted this. Thinking of you xx
