So what you’ve lost your car key

[OneNeatDenimHelper]

My 58 year old mum has terminal lung cancer. No surgery, radiotherapy or clinical trials. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy will give her an average of two years. We found out on Friday 13th which feels comical really. Went to visit a friend today who spent a good 15 minutes moaning about the inconvenience of losing their car key at the gym and the effort they’ll have to go to now to sort this out. I couldn’t have cared less and was desperate to leave. I know I’m not unreasonable, I just don’t have anywhere to vent that won’t bring others down. I’m only 34. My Mum will miss out on so much.

No, you shouldn't have to ask for a real friend with empathy to ask about your terminal mother when youve all just received the diagnosis.

That person isnt a friend id be having much to do with.

Yes, people dont know what to say, yes people avoid you and they say random shit that seems ridiculous but no.

Hey love, it's totally understandable, really it is. When I am at my lowest ebb (we've had a bereavement and major surgery in the last few months) I find my emotions leak out in messy and unexpected ways. Sending love because it's hard to process life while the world is still turning for everyone else. Xxx

Just popping back to say thank you to those that have replied, offered advice and other perspectives. It’s made me feel less alone and given me an avenue to offload. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
