Feel a bit shell -shocked today.

[upandaway]

sorry but am in on my own right now and need to chat.
Both my parents who are not very old at all, all things considered, have both had very bad news about their health in the past 24 hours.
One has to have a large lump removed and tests to check malignancy. The other has been given roughly 6 months to live.
Guess I am kind of a bit dazed about this news. The rest of my family live over 200miles away.

It just doesnt seem real, you know. Am just worrying about how I can best support them.
Feel like i have to grow up suddenly. Bit wierd really.
