mil is dying

I just feel so bad. Mil and I have never been close but I am finding her imminent death so difficult. I am not sure if it is sadness for my dh who is losing his mum or my dc who are losing their last grandparent. Or if it is bringing back memories of my mum's death or if I am grieving for her,
Just don't know how to handle this. Any advice appreciated. Thankuyou.

I'm sorry devon. What's happening? Where is mil?

You can feel sad for whatever reason you like - your feelings are valid, whatever they are.

There is no guide to how you cope it's probable mixture of everything you said. Think it's often harder if you don't get on etc can add more feelings of guilt about what you should do.
Just try take each hour as it comes there are no rules x

She has terminal cancer and is about yo move into a hospice. It just seems so unfair as she has always been so well. Thank you for replies.

It's probably all those things, and more, OP. Sympathy to you and your family at this difficult time. Talk about it if you can, and there may be bereavement counsellors attached to the hospice.

My thoughts are with you and mil and your family.

Sleep and eat a bit. See if you can get DH to do the same x
