Fear

[Kittykatmumof4]

Hi im so so scared of my mum passing away, she is 71 years, she is poorly at the moment with a bad cough and getting out of breathe. She has copd. She is my everything. Im sat crying my eyes out because i am so so scared. I have 4 children and married. I have a brother but she only sees him once or twice a week. She is with my every single day. She doesn't live with me but is a 5min drive away. I have anxiety and depression anyways but this is something on a whole new level im petrified.
Any help or anything please but I dont want to feel like this its scaring me to thinking something bad is actually gunna happen.
Thank you x

You‘ve not said any if this to your mum have you? Does she want you there so offen?

For your own sake, see your GP and ask for counselling.

If she has COPD and struggling it is quite normal to be scared of what the future is going to hold. My mum passed away from this coming up to three years ago, just after the new year. I remember doing a lot of ‘pre-grieving’ in the few years running up to her death as she got steadily worse.

There is nothing I can really say except enjoy the times you have and make lovely memories. Be careful on how much extra oxygen she is taking and follow nurses advice on this.
