TRIGGER WARNING Terminal cancer

Sleeping over in the hospice with her tonight just waiting for the bastard evil cunt of a brain tumour to take her.

I can't sleep, I can't eat, my stomachs doing somersaults and so fucking knotted up and having waves of crippling panic.

I can't bear it. It's such a cruel way to go. I'm so desperate for it to be over for her. Literally begging the universe to hurry the fuck up and stop dragging out her pain.

Am now going through this sadly, she’s at home and heavily sedated, been days now, it’s so so cruel.

Could definitely do with a handhold, my poor poor dad. And I just can’t believe I will never get to have a conversation with my lovely Mum ever again.

Handhold from me @Sameoldsameold78, so sorry you’re going through this too. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.

Handhold from me too. I’ve been there with both my parents and it’s so, so hard.

I think would be better for you to start your own thread, so that people reply to you, not the OP.

I didn’t want to start my own as worried it would end up on fb I just remembered being on this before

She’s died now, devastating
