My beloved mother is dying of cancer and I don't think she has many months left.
Have any of you who have been here before me got any tips on dealing with this? Is there anything you did that gives you comfort now your loved one has passed/ is there anything you said to the dying person that brought comfort?
I live at the other end of the UK to mY mother but visit all the time/take my DCs with me. We haven't talked much about death and dying. I'm just there for the mundane stuff like chatting, watching TV, helping where I can.
A friend of my be suggested recording mum talking about her life but I'm finding it hard to bring it up as its like saying - "look we both know you're going to die soon so can I record you so we have some memories?"
All suggestions gratefully received, thanks
